Do You Need a Permit for Tree Removal in Cokato?

In most cases, residential tree removal in Cokato, MN does not require a permit—especially if you're simply removing a dead or hazardous tree from private property. However, certain situations may involve local or county regulations.

When Permits May Be Required:

New Construction or Site Development
If tree removal is part of a building project, Wright County may require a tree preservation plan. Property owners must show that tree removal is necessary and may be required to replace trees at a set density (typically 10 trees per acre).
Shoreland Properties
If your property is near a lake or river, additional shoreland regulations may apply. These are enforced at the county level, often with restrictions on clearing within a set distance from the water.
Public Trees or Right-of-Way Removal
Trees located on boulevards, near roads, or public property typically require permission from the city before removal.
