Local tree-rule guide
Saint-Jérôme tree rules
A municipal permit is required for tree felling; accepted reasons and replacement requirements are published.
The local rule
Saint-Jérôme requires a permit before tree felling and limits approvals to specified reasons such as authorized construction, a dead or incurably diseased tree, serious property damage or safety concerns.
The City says an authorized tree must be replaced and routes applications through its online permit system.
Before work starts
- Ownership: check the property line. Public and boundary trees may follow a different process.
