Round Hill is outside the towns named on our site; call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) to confirm. About 81% of Round Hill's homes date from before 1980, so the conifers beside them are fifty years old and more. Measuring comes before the saw. ## At a glance - TRPA permit for live trees over 14 inches at breast height - About 81% of homes built before 1980 - 802 housing units but 352 households - About 44 minutes from our yard without traffic ## How do I know if my tree needs a TRPA permit? Measure around the trunk 4.5 feet above the ground on the uphill side and divide by 3.14. A trunk about 44 inches around is 14 inches across. Live trees over that need a permit; dead trees that could fall on a house do not. On lakeshore lots the threshold is 6 inches for live trees between the house and the lake. The checker on the Tahoe pages does the arithmetic. See [Tahoe tree removal permits and the 14-inch rule](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/tahoe-tree-removal-permits-dbh/). TRPA decides. ## Why are the trees so large? The median home dates from 1975 and about 81% of housing is pre-1980 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024, Round Hill Village CDP). Conifers from those years can stand close to a roof or a deck. A crane or boom truck can lower sections where a climber's drop zone is too small. The method is chosen at the estimate. ## Who decides at a condo or townhome complex? About 52% of housing here is not a detached house, so many trees belong to an association. The manager arranges the estimate, and permits go through TRPA or the Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District.

On lakeshore lots the threshold is 6 inches for live trees between the house and the lake. A dead tree that could fall on a house does not need a TRPA permit. TRPA also asks for a permit to remove branches from the upper two-thirds of a tree, with exceptions for limbs near structures, utility conflicts and dead wood. The Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District evaluates defensible space and can issue the fire-safety tree permit. The agency decides. ### Start here - [About the service: Tree removal](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-services/tree-removal/) - [Tree service in Round Hill Village](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/round-hill-village/) ### 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.
