The Belmar Shade Tree Commission wishes to remind Belmar homeowners that a permit is required for: tree removal, stump removal,tree planting and/or pruning of trees within the planting strip which is the area between the curb and sidewalk. Permits are available at municipal building or downloadable by clicking this link.
The Belmar Shade Tree Commission wishes to notify Belmar residents that in the near future we will be conducting a hazardous tree stump survey. The survey is intended to identify tree stumps located within the planting strip that pose a hazard to the public. Tree stumps identified as hazardous as a result of the survey should be removed by the responsible property owner. Any inquiries relevant to the hazardous tree stump survey should be directed to the Belmar Shade Tree Commission email: shadetree@belmar.com
