Tree Removal Permit Requirements in New Harmony, UT
The Town of New Harmony handles zoning/land use but does not run its own building-permit program. After Town Clerk approval (permission letter) and New Harmony Valley Fire District sign-off, the building permit is issued by Washington County Community Development. A building permit is required for buildings of 400 sq ft or more that have electrical and plumbing. Utah enforces the statewide 2021 IRC (Title 15A), effective July 1, 2023.

When you don’t need a Tree Removal permit
UT (Washington County, ZIP 84757), routine removal of a tree on private residential property is generally not regulated by Washington County Community Development Department as a building matter. Trees in the public right-of-way are county-managed, and a separate county or state rule may apply to protected species or trees near a watercourse. Confirm with the county before removing a significant tree.
