    The side yard tree' long roots cause harm to the townhouse foundation (cracks). I would like to dig the tree up. What to start with? Do I need to get HOA approval? Is there any tree removal service in the area?

    Yea, you need to get permission from HOA and probably letters from tree company to prove to HOA that keeping the tree as is would cause damage (or is causing damage) to the house’s foundation-

    They may require you to replace tree though and you can get a different tree that won’t do damage to the house”s foundation-

    Depends. If a smaller tree (less the 4” in diameter, 3 feet from the ground) you don’t need permission. Also, assuming you are an end unit, is the tree on your property? If not, then the HOA, should remove it.

    Thanks. The tree is 9” in diameter and about 4 feet from the house (end unit), between the house wall and the walkway. Looks like it is on my property. But, I haven't found any land plot plan in my docs. Where can I request it?
