Yes, a permit is required for listed trimming, pruning, and removal work on Topeka public property. TMC 12.65.010 includes city-owned property and city right-of-way in that definition. Confirm the tree’s location and responsible authority because this rule does not establish a blanket exemption for every tree described as private.

Storm-cleanup cost depends on the damage found, access, obstacles, and requested debris handling. Stay clear of downed power lines, hanging branches, and unstable trees. Do not cut branches under tension. Immediate hazard work is a different scope from later removal, hauling, and stump grinding.

Before pruning roots or installing a barrier, discuss how the proposed work could affect stability and tree health.
