TREE TRIMMING & REMOVAL
Requests for the Road Commission to remove or trim trees or other vegetation within the county road right-of-way will are reviewed and must meet some or all of the following criteria:
- The tree or vegetation is within the county right-of-way
- The tree or vegetation is determined by the Road Commission to be a potential public hazard, vision impediment or drainage obstruction
- There are no buildings, utilities, or other obstructions too close to the tree as determined by the Road Commission
- The tree is dead, dying or weakened
If the Road Commission completes a review of the request and determines there is an immediate danger to the public, the tree, limb or vegetation will be scheduled for removal as soon as possible. Otherwise the request will be handled as time and resources allow.

About Us
The Missaukee County Road Commission was established in 1928. The Missaukee County Road Commission has a three-member Board of Road Commissioners who are elected by the voters. The Missaukee County Board of Commissioners decides whether road commissioners are appointed or elected. Road Commissioners serve six-year terms. The terms are staggered so that all Commissioners are not up for re-election at the same time.
The county road system consists of both primary and local roads. Primary roads are generally paved roads that function as either minor or major collectors. The local road system consists of all other roads that are under the jurisdiction of the Missaukee County Road Commission. Currently we have 222 miles of Primary Roads and 634 Miles of Local Roads (including seasonal roads). In addition, the Missaukee County Road Commission maintains 132 Lane miles of State Trunkline under contract with the Michigan Department of Transportation.
