Tree service

It is unlawful for anyone to engage in the business of, or receive compensation for, cutting, trimming, pruning or removing trees without getting a license from Excise and Licenses.

The tree license is issued to an individual in the ownership or employment of a tree service company. A licensed company must have at one license holder (the licensee) representing the company. If the licensee leaves the company, that company has 30 days to get a new licensee. If a new licensee is not established within the 30 day period, the company is no longer licensed in the City and County of Denver. Another representative must fulfill the current licensing requirements.
