Independent tree-rule information · Not a government or arborist service

About the guide

Local rules. Clearer decisions.

An independent guide to municipal tree rules for Canadian property owners.

Why this guide exists

Make the official requirement easier to find and understand. Every municipality can use a different tree rule.

Independent by design

Tree Rules Canada is not a municipality, arborist, law firm or tree-removal company. We link to the authority that controls the local requirement.

How to use it

  1. Start with the property’s municipality.
  2. Read the scope, exceptions and source-review date.
  3. Confirm the current requirement with the local authority before work.
