The City of Brooklyn Center requires that all individuals or companies providing tree maintenance services within the City be registered as defined in Chapter 20, Section 20-501. The Public Works Department administers this registration.

• Tips for Hiring a Tree Maintenance Contractor
• List of Registered Tree Contractors
• Diseased and Dead Tree Regulations
• Options for Removing a Dead or Diseased Tree

Tree Contractor Registration Application Forms:

• Application for registration
• Business tax identification form
• Worker compensation certificate

After registering with the City, the contractor will receive a current list with all the registered tree maintenance contractors and a receipt will be mailed. The City will make this list available to the public on request and to residents who have trees marked for removal through the City's Diseased Tree Program.

Since the registration of tree contractors was enacted in 1992, the residents of our City have become very aware of its importance and recognize the registration requirement is for their benefit. Therefore, requests are made daily for the list of contractors. City staff is not authorized to recommend a specific contractor, but we do caution residents to beware of door-knockers and be sure to get a written contract.

For more information relating to registration requirements for tree contractor/maintenance services, please call the Forestry Division at 763-585-7100.
