Tree permits in Overland Park. City code does not require a permit to remove or trim a tree on your own private property - the city only steps in if a tree becomes hazardous or a nuisance. Street trees are on city right-of-way: the abutting homeowner must keep them maintained, but the City Forester regulates their removal and the city itself removes dead or storm-damaged right-of-way trees.

Brush and yard waste. There is no city yard-waste crew - your private trash hauler is required, as a condition of its city permit, to collect bundled yard waste including small tree trimmings at least 40 weeks a year. If you self-haul, Johnson County lists regional drop-off composting sites in nearby cities. Source: opkansas.gov
