Local tree-rule guide
Lévis tree rules
Current City permit material states a permit is required for tree felling and replacement requirements can apply.
The local rule
Lévis publishes a specific permit process for tree felling that asks owners to identify the tree, location, species and reason for removal.
The City requests photographs and can use professional tree-condition information when a tree has been evaluated.
Before work starts
- Ownership: check the property line. Public and boundary trees may follow a different process.
- Site context: review any development approval, covenant or protected-area conditions.
- Work requirements: confirm any permit, exemption or protection requirements that apply to the planned work.
