Tree Bylaws in Caledon
Caledon got its first private tree bylaw at the start of 2026. By-law 2025-101 protects any tree with a trunk diameter of 30 cm or more at breast height (1.37 m above ground).
The application is handled online through a Town form, and no permit fee is charged. You will still need to document the tree and provide reasons for removal. Near the Niagara Escarpment, the Niagara Escarpment Commission runs its own approval process alongside the Town's. Woodlands fall under the Town's separate Woodland Conservation By-law 2000-100 and need a different permit. A woodland is at least 0.5 hectare with a minimum tree count.
We check the Escarpment and woodland rules for each Caledon property and prepare the documentation the Town's form asks for.
