Tree work rules in Wyoming

What the state says about tree work, with the page each rule comes from. It's a summary of the published rules, not legal advice, and your city or county can have rules of its own.

Checked September 26, 2026

Licensing

Wyoming has no state tree care license. Casper's arborist license is for commercial work on public trees, and the State Forestry Division points people to ISA and ASCA credentials.1-2

Tree removal permits

Ask your city or county government whether removing a tree needs a permit where you live.

Trees near power lines

If a tree is touching the power line to your house, keep clear and call your utility first. Clearing the line is the utility's job, and a tree company can't start until it's done.

Wyoming's High Voltage Power Lines and Safety Restrictions Act keeps people and tools 6 feet and mechanical equipment 10 feet from lines over 600 volts and up to 50,000 volts. The utility has to be notified and safety arrangements agreed before anyone works closer.3

811 and stump work

Wyoming's one-call law doesn't name stumps. It covers moving earth by hand or power tools and excludes tilling and gardening.3

Spraying and treating trees

We don't have an official source on Wyoming's license for spraying or injecting trees. Ask any company that offers it which pesticide license it holds.
