Borough Council recognizes the role that trees play in the Borough ecosystem and that they contribute to the quality of air, reduce noise and visual pollution, help to moderate climatic extremes and conserve energy. Trees enhance property values and the general quality of life in the Borough.
Ordinance 2080 (PDF) governs the planting and maintenance of street trees in the Borough right of way. All trimming, planting, and removal require a no fee permit available at Borough Hall or on line. All permits (PDF) must be approved by the Public Works Department.
Street trees must be chosen from the Borough of Pottstown approved tree list (PDF). All planting locations must be reviewed prior to planting.
Any questions, may be emailed to the Public Works department at (610) 970-6527.
