Langley Township Bylaw / Cutting and Removal of Trees

Tree Protection Bylaw 2019 No. 5478To protect trees, regulate cutting, and outline replanting requirements, the Township of Langley Council adopted Tree Protection Bylaw 2019 No. 5478  on July 8, 2019.

To help ensure tree health and the urban canopy, property owners are now required to apply for a permit through the Tree Removal/Cutting application  process if they want to cut or remove a tree from their property. Anyone removing or cutting any tree without a valid permit may be subject to fines and additional tree replacement requirements.
​
The Bylaw applies to all trees on private properties in the Township, with the following exceptions:
  • Lands within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR)
  • Portions of non-ALR land used for farming
  • Lands under a development application, or where trees will impact placement of structures, services, or driveways
  • Golf courses
  • Tree farms
  • Trees smaller than 30 centimetres diameter at breast height (DBH)
  • Standard trimming or pruning of trees
  • Hedges
