We have not published a permit service, so ask the office when you call. What we can tell you is which agency usually decides for your address and what it looks at, and the permit decision always stays with that agency. ## What we can do Call the office at [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) and tell us the address and the tree. The office and the arborist can say whether your town has a rule, who to call and what to have ready, such as a tree's diameter or a photo. Many people only need to hear which agency to ask. The rules differ a lot from place to place. Reno asks for a Tree Work Permit and a Certified Arborist in the City right-of-way and nothing for a private lot. Lake Tahoe on the Nevada side has diameter thresholds under the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. For the rest, a short list is in our guide to [tree removal permits in Northern Nevada](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/tree-removal-permits-northern-nevada/). ## Where a credential matters Reno requires a Certified Arborist for tree work in its right-of-way, and we have two ISA Certified Arborists on staff. That is a credential held by people, so ask whoever you hire to show theirs; ISA has a lookup at treesaregood.org. At Tahoe, the Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District says its defensible space inspectors are certified to issue TRPA tree removal permits when removal is needed for fire safety. In that case the district writes the direction and we work to it. ## What stays with the agency We do not decide a permit, and we do not promise one will be granted. If an agency refuses, the job does not go ahead on our say-so. Ask before you schedule, and bring the agency's answer to the estimate visit. Estimates are free and tailored to each client's needs. If you are not sure whether a permit is involved, say so on the [estimate form](https://battleborntreeservice.com/free-estimate/) and name the address. ### Sources - [City of Reno: Urban Forestry tree FAQs](https://www.reno.gov/government/departments/parks-recreation-community-services/urban-forestry/tree-faqs) (read October 17, 2026) - [Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District: Defensible Space](https://tahoefire.org/wildland/defensible-space/) (read October 17, 2026) - [ISA Trees Are Good: Verify an ISA Certified Arborist](https://www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist/verify) (read October 17, 2026) ### Talk to the office [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) | Monday to Friday | 8:30 am - 5:00 pm | |---|---| | Saturday and Sunday | Office closed, phones answered | Phones answered seven days a week. 24-hour emergency service.
