How does a manager arrange a removal?
With about 71% of households renting and only about 28% of homes detached houses (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024, ZCTA 89512), most calls here come from owners and managers or are passed to them. Call 775.232.8243 with the address, or ask the owner to. The arborist walks the property, usually with the manager, and writes one estimate that can cover several trees.
Our page for HOAs and property managers explains the process. General information only: the owner of the land decides, and a tenant cannot order removal.
Is the tree on the lot, or on the street?
Check before anything is cut. A tree on private land is the owner's. A tree in the City right-of-way or on City property needs a Tree Work Permit and a Certified Arborist in Reno. Reno Urban Forestry can confirm the boundary. Our permit guide covers Reno, Sparks, Carson City and the Tahoe Basin.
How do crews work in tight lots?
Small yards and parking courts leave little room. Climbers take trees down in pieces, a boom truck reaches over a roof, and a crane is an option when a tree stands over a building. Tree removal in a tight backyard shows how it is decided. Cars, fences and utility lines are checked at the estimate.
Hazards and emergencies
A tree on a building or car, or one across an access road, is a call to our 24-hour line. If anyone is hurt call 911. If a power line is involved, stay away and call NV Energy.

Rules here
The City of Reno does not require a permit to remove or prune a tree on private property. A tree in a City right-of-way or on City property needs a Tree Work Permit, and the work must be done by a Certified Arborist. Reno Urban Forestry answers questions about which strip of ground is which.
If you are unsure whether your lot is inside the city limits, ask before the work. Association rules, where they exist, still apply. We have an ISA Certified Arborist on staff, WE-11728A. The agency decides.
