The City of Chilton is proud of our tree-lines streets and our beautiful parks. We recognize that trees provide aesthetic benefits and monetary benefits to our community.  Trees within our community increase property values, reduce air pollution, reduce storm water run-off and reduce heating and cooling costs.

Tree Trimming

Anytime tree branches or shrubs obstruct a public sidewalk or protrude into the right-of-way it is the responsibility of the property owner to trim the obstruction.  Tree branches must be at least 10 feet above the sidewalk or right-of-way to avoid becoming a public nuisance.
