Application to Injure or Destroy Trees on Private Land
In an effort to sustain and protect the tree canopy of Brampton, City council has passed a By-
law 317-2012 (Tree Conservation) (hereinafter, the “By-law”) to control indiscriminate cutting
of trees and promote their importance within our City. Unless the criteria set out in Part IV
(Exemptions) of the By-law are met, the attached Application to Injure or Destroy Trees on
Private Land (“Application”) must be completed and a Permit issued in order to injure, cause
or permit the injuring of a tree.
The exemptions listed below are provided to assist you in determining if you require a permit
to perform work on privately owned trees.
Some examples where a Permit will not be required include:
1. Trees located within 2 meters of an occupied building.
2. Trees with a diameter of less than 30 centimeters, measured from 1.37
metres from the ground; or
3. Injury to trees where necessary for emergency work.
Please refer to Tree Conservation By-law 317-2012 for further details, or contact the Urban
Forestry department at 311 if you require further clarification.
Where the tree does not meet any of the criteria that would exempt it from the Permit
process, the Application accompanied by a $50 application fee must be submitted to the City
of Brampton. The application fee of $50 is non-refundable.
Cheques payable to The Corporation of the City of Brampton.
If paying in person, cash, debit, Amex, Visa and MasterCard are also accepted.
