Questions
If you own the land privately and the removal is not for a business, you need no permit. You must still notify the gmina first if the trunk at 5 cm height exceeds 80 cm (poplar, willow, ash-leaved or silver maple), 65 cm (horse chestnut, black locust, London plane) or 50 cm (other species).
The office inspects the tree within 21 days of receiving the notice. It then has 14 days to object by decision; without an objection you may remove the tree. If you don't remove it within 6 months of the inspection, you must notify again.
It may object if the tree stands on land in the heritage register, on land the local plan sets aside for green space, or in a nature protection area, or if the tree meets the criteria for a natural monument.
