Before you remove a tree in Whitby
Whitby requires a Tree Removal Permit for private trees in some places: woodlots of 0.2 to 1 hectare, Major Open Space, hazard, environmental protection, Greenbelt and Oak Ridges Moraine lands, mature woodlands, areas with a Tree Preservation Plan, residential lands of 2.02 hectares or larger, and the Werden's Plan and Brooklin heritage districts. The Town says no permit is required when the wooded area is under 0.2 hectares, the property is outside those heritage districts and the tree is not in a Tree Preservation Plan.
Nobody may injure or remove a tree on Town property, street and park trees included.
Durham Region's Woodland By-law covers woodlands of one hectare (2.5 acres) or more. If you plan to cut trees in a woodland that size, you may need a permit from the Region. Removing dead or hazardous trees is one of the listed exemptions. Wooded areas under one hectare are left to the local municipality.
Sources: Town of Whitby, Tree Policies and By-laws and Region of Durham, Woodland By-law. Read 13 November 2026. Rules change, so check with the municipality before you cut.
What customers say
Rob and crew showed up early and removed 6 trees that were very close to the house and over 60 feet tall, also close to my and neighbours deck. They were so accurate and precise, safe with every step, they know what they are doing!
marie love on Google, May 2026. Six tall trees close to a house. Robert removed a tree and trimmed up the rest to assure healthy growth and potential for any hazards. Also trimmed up my cedars and front overgrown umbrella tree.
