Usually yes for mature trees. La Honda is unincorporated San Mateo County, where the county’s Protected Tree Ordinance requires a permit for trees over roughly 12 inches in diameter, with added protection for indigenous species like oak and madrone. One time-sensitive detail:

  • The county’s exemption for hazardous fire-risk trees runs through July 1, 2026 – this season is the window to deal with known problem trees with less paperwork

We confirm which regime applies to your parcel, prepare the documentation either way, and can prioritize hazard trees while the exemption window is open.
