Dumont requires a permit before any tree can be removed in the Borough. The permit process begins with a visit to the Borough Hall Building Department, 50 Washington Ave. You will need your property survey, the Tree Removal Permit Application, information about the tree company hired to do the work, and verification that they are insured. Don't worry if you have not selected a tree company—you can begin the process without that.

Someone from the DPW will inspect the tree. Please give the DPW two (2) weeks to perform an inspection. If it is an emergency, please state that!
