Strict tree removal rules in Nagytarcsa
In 2025 Nagytarcsa adopted a new tree decree (18/2025. (V. 27.)) with a low permit threshold: a tree in a garden within the built-up area may only be felled with a final tree felling permit once its trunk reaches 9 centimetres in diameter, measured at a height of 1 metre. The town clerk (jegyző) decides on the permit and on replacement, and the permit is valid for one year.
Felled trees must be replaced by the same number of nursery-grown trees with a trunk diameter of at least 6 centimetres, although fruit trees and invasive species don’t count as replacements. If the felling wasn’t due to construction, you have one year to replant. A tree posing an immediate danger must be felled without delay, but the town clerk must be notified in writing within 3 days.
