Tree removal in Covington
The City of Covington passed the Tree Preservation Ordinance to preserve more existing trees in order to maintain a viable tree canopy for the city as well as to increase property values and privacy for residential areas. As a home or business owner, you are exempt from obtaining a tree removal permit as long as you meet the following requirements.
List of exemptions
- Residential sites 1 acre or less not in critical area.
- Commercial or industrial sites 2 acres or less not in critical area.
- Sites with less than 20 significant trees or less.
- Emergency removal of hazard trees.
- Limited removal of trees on existing developed residential property between 1 and 10 acres within 35 ft. of existing building and 15 ft. of accessory building.
