Hi there,
Live in Cary and have some dead looking trees (but still get leaves in summertime) that I'd like to take down (ether myself or hire someone). I recall something in the news about 4-5 years back about informing the city or county about taking down any trees. Can you guys share any info on this?
thanks

I too live in Cary and had 4 trees taken out a few months ago. I've never heard of informing the city or county. I did have them taken down by a company so they may have informed them but I don't think so.

That was Raleigh. Cary has no regulations, except if you are in a stream buffer "Do-NOt-Disturb" area, I think.
If you have an HOA, you may have to clear it with them, before you remove trees.

The Raleigh laws are on the city web site. You don't have to worry until you get up to three inches diameter.
"who wouldn't ? "

I found this answer on a page about Cary annexing somewhere... LOL. Figures.
Town of Cary ETJ Request
Town Response to Public Comments
Made to the
Wake County Planning Board and Land Use Committee
June 2, 2004; June 9, 2004; and July 14, 2004
Comments from June 2 and June 9 Meetings
1. “Cary will require a landowner to get a $50 permit to remove a tree from a house lot.”
No, this is incorrect. While the Town does have an ordinance that prohibits the clear-cutting (complete removal of all trees) of a tract of land prior to development to avoid the Town’s buffering requirements, single-family lots in existing subdivisions and parcels of land smaller than 3 acres are specifically exempted from obtaining any sort of tree clearing certificate.

Reason: weird size tags magically appeared and needed to go away!

Raleigh also has a anti-clearing cutting rule, but doesn't sound like you are doing that...and you have to have a pretty big piece of property for the rule to apply.
The stream buffer rules are state rules. Here is a good discussion: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/nps/BufRu...euseTP2-00.pdf |

Check with your HOA and call the city planning department. You could also check with a tree service.

I had some trees cut down in Cary and I'm pretty sure I was told I needed to pull a permit for it.
