Thank you for submitting your Work Order request. One of our Inspectors will be out to investigate the issue and respond back with results.

Investigated 5/9/22

Trees along Village Dr between the curb & sidewalk are on county property and would require the HOA to obtain a permit through the Department Of Natural Resources before work is to take place.

ROADSIDE TREE LAW

The Application Review Process and Appeal Process
If you believe a roadside tree is a hazard, or if you are replacing or maintaining community street trees as part of an overall plan, you should apply for a roadside tree permit before any tree care work is performed.

A request must be made to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Forest Service office in the County where the tree exists. Request must include location (street address) of tree or grouped trees, property owner(s) name and address, the type of tree care requested and why. If the proposed tree care is due to a building permit, please include a site plan.

If the roadside tree straddles two properties, both owners must sign the same application. The actual submittal (& fee) can be accomplished by an agent of the owner (ie: Licensed Tree Expert) at the owner's expense.

The tree stump(s) have been removed. Your request is being referred to our Street Tree Replacement Program. Street tree replacements occur in the spring or the fall of the year. This helps promote growth of the new tree. The County is governed by the State of Maryland Forestry Division and as such, we have to go by the State approved trees to plant.
