Csömör gardens among the hills
Csömör lies on the western edge of the Gödöllő Hills, in the valley of the Csömör stream, north of Budapest’s District 16, and its centre is barely a kilometre from the city boundary. This rolling large village has all kinds of plots, from the old homesteads of Ófalu to the sloping gardens of Szőlő-hegy.
Csömör has detailed local rules on both trees and noise, so during the survey we also check what the decree allows. If a tree can be saved, we’d rather prune it, and if it does have to go, we’ll plant the replacement tree as well.

BeforeAfterTree removal permits and replanting in Csömör
Under Csömör’s tree decree (20/2021. (VII. 13.)), even a tree in a private garden may only be felled outside the growing season, that is, between leaf fall and bud break, and a tree with a trunk thicker than 20 centimetres needs the permission of the town clerk (jegyző). The trunk diameter is measured at a height of 1 metre, and the application is submitted to the Mayor’s Office (Polgármesteri Hivatal).
A felled tree must be replaced within 18 months, with a nursery-grown tree of at least 6 centimetres trunk diameter, with two fruit trees, or by a payment in lieu. A tree that endangers life or property must be felled without delay, but in that case the reason has to be backed up with an expert opinion or a photograph.

Lawn mowing under Csömör’s noise decree
Csömör has a separate decree (8/2021. (IV. 20.)) on noise from work carried out on private property. Under it, in residential areas you may work with a motor mower, a motorised leaf collector, machine tree felling or a garden tractor between 7:00 and 20:00 on weekdays and between 9:00 and 18:00 on Saturdays.
On Sundays and public holidays, noisy garden work is only possible with the town clerk’s permission, no more than twice a year, between 9:00 and 14:00, and the neighbours must be notified. We work within the weekday hours, so Sundays in Csömör stay quiet.

Free bags and green waste collection in Csömör
In Csömör, waste is collected by MOHU, and under the 2026 schedule garden waste is picked up every other Wednesday from April to November. In January and February only Christmas trees are collected, and in March and December there is no green waste round at all. Leaves, grass and weeds must be put out in bags, and branches in bundles no longer than 1 metre and no thicker than 5 centimetres.
MOHU gives each property 16 biodegradable bags free of charge every six months, which can be picked up on the advertised days on presentation of an address card (lakcímkártya). Anything beyond that, or anything thicker, such as the trunk of a felled tree, we’re happy to take away if you let us know.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to cut down a tree in Csömör?
If the trunk is thicker than 20 centimetres, yes: you’ll need the town clerk’s permission, and the felled tree must be replaced. Fruit trees, thujas, conifers and most invasive trees are exceptions, but even these may only be felled when the trees are bare. Our separate page on permits explains the process in more detail.
Can I mow the lawn on a Sunday in Csömör?
Not as a rule. On Sundays and public holidays, noisy garden work is only allowed with the town clerk’s permission, at most twice a year, between 9:00 and 14:00. On weekdays between 7:00 and 20:00 and on Saturdays between 9:00 and 18:00, though, you’re free to mow.
When is the best time to fell a tree in Csömör?
Between leaf fall and bud break, because that’s the only time felling is allowed in Csömör, and it’s also the best time from a professional point of view, as a bare tree is easier to cut into sections. It’s worth requesting the survey in autumn so there’s enough time for the permit.
