There is a dead tree in front of my house. Who is responsible for taking it down?

The Highway Superintendent will meet with the home owner to determine if the tree is located within the town Right Of Way (ROW) or on private property. If it's determined to be on the ROW both the Highway Superintendent and the Tree Warden will assess how high of a hazard the tree is and place it on a list to be removed. Sometimes it can take two to three years before a tree is removed if it is deemed to be a low hazard.
