Methodology

A county note is a working file for someone about to hire a removal, not a tour of the state. Updated 12 Oct 2026.

1. Pick the job people already hire: remove a dangerous tree. Reject a note that only renames the city.
2. Collect a primary document: a code section, a fee schedule, a manual, or a city page that states a trigger.
3. Draft from that document. Every diameter, dollar, and deadline has to appear in the source. Silence stays silence.
4. Compare the next county. If the paragraph is still true after the swap, the page does not ship.
5. Re-read when the ordinance changes. The date on the page is the date of that reading.

Drafting assistance is used to organize the notes. A person checks the cited section against the sentence before the page stays up. See the editorial policy.
