St. Louis County's Property Maintenance Code does not require removal of tree stumps after a tree is cut, so leaving a stump is not a code violation. However, limbs and other cut tree portions must be removed under §1110.302.7.
Unlike many counties, St. Louis County does not have a heritage-tree ordinance for unincorporated areas. Tree removal on private property generally does not require a county permit. Cut trees and shrubs left on the ground are a public nuisance under §1120.020 and must be removed. Fallen ROW trees are the responsibility of the adjacent landowner. Cities (Clayton, Ladue, Frontenac) often have their own heritage tree protections.
Notice of Violation for unabated limbs/debris; up to $1,000 fine.
