New Tree Service Licensing Law Takes Effect January 1Beginning January 1, 2026, all companies and individuals performing tree cutting, pruning, or removal in Scarsdale must obtain a Commercial Tree Service License from the Department of Public Works. The license applies to all tree work performed anywhere within the Village, whether the contractor is hired directly by a homeowner or working as a subcontractor. Please note that this local law pertains to commercial work, and homeowners may still prune their own trees. Click here for more information. Residents should also be aware that most private tree removals require a Tree Removal Permit from the Engineering Department. A permit is required for the removal of any tree over 6 inches Diameter at Breast Height (DBH). For more information about contractor licensing, please contact DPW at 914-722-1150. For information regarding tree removal permits, please contact the Engineering Department at 914-722- 1106 or visit the Village website for full guidance and forms. |
