Christmas Tree/Bough Permit - Online Purchase

To purchase your Christmas Tree or Bough Permit online, follow all three steps carefully:

Step 1: Open the Christmas Tree Permit (fillable form is compatible with Google Chrome and Microsoft Explorer)

  • Read it in its entirety and fill out all the required information.
  • Print it and sign where indicated.

Step 2: Pay for your permit.

  • Under the "My Bills" section, select "Christmas Tree" or "Bough" permit from the dropdown box under "Payment Type".
  • If purchasing for collection of a Christmas Tree, you will need to select the number of trees you desire, (maximum of 2 per household - personal use only).
  • If purchasing for the collection of boughs you will need to select boughs and also fill in the Township and Section number of where you will be collecting them. View township maps that include County Forest Land.
  • The next section is the "Cardholder Information". All of these fields are required. Your receipt will be emailed, so double check that the email address is entered correctly. After entering all your information, click "Continue" to review and finalize your payment. (The credit card processing provider (Point & Pay) charges an additional $1.50 convenience fee for every $50.00 charged.) 

Step 3: To validate your permit, you must attach a copy of the receipt.

  • An email with the subject line "Your Receipt" will be sent to you. You must print this receipt.
  • Carry the permit, with the attached receipt, while cutting and transporting your tree or boughs.
