Usually yes for a mature tree. Montara is unincorporated San Mateo County inside the Coastal Zone, so county rules currently apply:
- A tree of roughly 38 inches in circumference (about 12 inches across) needs a county permit
- Heritage rules protect certain species beyond that
- County regulations are in transition – a new protected tree ordinance is adopted but not yet effective in the Coastal Zone
Because the rules are moving, we verify the current requirements for your specific parcel before any cut and prepare whatever documentation the county wants to see. That verification is part of the job.
