Penalty for cutting down a tree: up to $26K + 1 year 3 months

It does not matter that the branches are perilously hanging over your home, destroying your sewer connection, cracking your basement…

The one who cuts… $15K or one year imprisonment; the one who hired the cutter; $10K; and if guilty of misdemeanor, $1K plus 30-day imprisonment for protecting your own home.
