Usually yes for mature trees. Pescadero is unincorporated San Mateo County in the Coastal Zone, so county rules currently apply:
- Trees of roughly 38 inches in circumference (about 12 inches across) need a county permit
- Heritage protection applies to certain species
- This is also CAL FIRE State Responsibility Area: 100 feet of defensible space around structures is state law
For fire-damaged and hazard trees, documentation matters both for the permit and for insurance. We confirm the current requirements for your parcel and prepare everything the county wants to see.
