Tree permits in Raymore. Raymore does not require a homeowner to get a city permit to prune or remove a tree on their own property; a permit (occupational license) is only required for businesses that do tree work for hire. The strip between the sidewalk and street is legally a 'private tree' area that is the homeowner's responsibility, while a true public tree in a park or on city property cannot be removed without the city's written approval.
