Middletown Township Tree Permit Requirements
Middletown adopted its Tree Removal and Replacement requirements in 2024 (Ord. 2024-3446) as part of the township's stormwater chapter under the NJDEP MS4 mandate (N.J.A.C. 7:8); a separate Chapter 220 (Tree Maintenance, 2020) governs roadside and right-of-way trees. Tree removal applications are submitted to and approved by the Zoning Department (Planning, Zoning and Community Development) through the online portal before any removal, there is no separate shade tree commission review. Street trees under 2.5 inches, shade trees under 24 inches, and evergreens under 10 feet are exempt from replacement, and small residential lots are exempt from shade-tree, but not street-tree, replacement.
Permits in Middletown (zip 07718, 07737, 07738, 07748, 07752, 07758) are the property owner's responsibility per our standard terms, but Pro-Stump Tree Service will walk you through the local requirements and provide the arborist reports and documentation your application needs, so your project stays in full compliance.

Middletown Tree Service, Frequently Asked Questions
Tree removal in Middletown typically ranges from $800 to $3,500 depending on size, location, and proximity to structures. Large oaks near homes in Lincroft or Navesink may cost more due to difficult access.
Red oaks, sugar maples, and tulip poplars thrive throughout Middletown. Coastal areas near the Bayshore do well with salt-tolerant species like black cherry and eastern red cedar.
Late fall through early spring (November-March) is ideal for most tree pruning in Middletown. Avoid pruning oaks from April to July to prevent oak wilt disease.
