In Mainz, trees with a circumference of 80 cm or more measured at a trunk height of 100 cm are subject to the "Legal Ordinance for the Protection of Trees within the City of Mainz." You must therefore apply for a permit for these trees in accordance with the legal ordinance.

Permits for felling or pruning outside of building permit procedures are issued by the Parks and Environment Department of the state capital of Mainz.

Administrative fee for processing a felling application: 100 euros (1st tree)
Administrative fee for each additional tree on the same property: 20 euros
