I don't see why but I am not sure legally. I would say no.

Did you call the Permitting Office?

If they can't tell you I don't know who can.

I know down further south in Beaufort county, if they catch you cutting down trees without a permit, there are huge fines.

We were doin a foundation for a house and they left a live oak tree within 3 feet of the house. It took an act of congress to be able to cut down the tree. The plans for the building should show which trees are there, cut the ones that aren't there down.

just cut them down. you gots big money!!

That is understandable when you are pulling permits anyway to building something from nothing.

I think Marcus will be fine.

I had 3 pine trees cut down in my yard in Goose Creek and did not have to get a permit. That was after Hugo. Unless they made a change, since then.

Was that before or after the "neighbor from hell" ? lol

I had a tree cut down in the front and didn't get a permit. (outside of the creek though)

Off topic, when did you get another lightning Morey?

Dave · 06-18-2009, 08:58 PM

EZ03 would be the best person to ask on this subject but I think he is MIA from the message boards these days.

ED, you out there?

KRYPTONITE · 06-19-2009, 07:57 AM

thanks for all of the info. they showed up today at 5:45am and got started, One step closer to the building,

NO PERMIT, so hope nothing happens,

98Camarod · 06-19-2009, 08:01 AM

You can always say you told them to get off your property, but they just started to cut down trees. Then you tried to call the cops, but they came over and broke your phone in half.

If you are in Berkley County, you do not need a permit to clear, nor are there any regulations on the type or size of tree you can remove.
