Fayetteville clear-cutting checkpoint

The City's document requires a permit before covered clear-cutting or significant land disturbance affecting healthy trees and lists conditional exemptions.

Officially sourcedIf the scope involves clear-cutting or significant disturbance affecting healthy trees inside Fayetteville, check the City's permit requirements before work.

Scope noteA production-use exemption may apply only when the City's stated status and buffer conditions are met; verify eligibility rather than assuming it.

  • Will the project clear-cut or significantly disturb land affecting healthy trees?
  • Is the property inside City jurisdiction?
  • Is the land actually in agricultural, horticultural or forestry production and taxed at present-use value?
  • If claiming that exemption, will the required vegetated perimeter condition be retained?
  • What plan, map or approval does the City require for this actual scope?

Status: likely City check required / exemption facts to verify / outside confirmed scope. Never output 'permit approved' or 'exempt.'

The City determines coverage and exemption eligibility.
