Tree service

Per Denver Revised Municipal Code, Chapter 57; It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the business of, or receive compensation for, cutting, trimming, pruning or removing trees, without first procuring a license therefore from the director of Excise and Licenses.

The tree license is issued to an individual in the ownership or employment of a tree service company. A licensed company is required to have a minimum of one license holder (the licensee) representing the company. If the licensee leaves the company for any reason, that company has thirty (30) days for a new licensee to be established. If a new licensee is not established within the thirty (30) day period, the company is no longer licensed in the City and County of Denver until another representative fulfills the current licensing requirements.

Please review your application carefully to ensure all information is complete and correctly entered.
