For land buyers, particularly in regions like Sibiu, regulations require distinguishing between urban and extra-urban plots and obtaining urban planning certificates to verify construction parameters and road access. Regarding vegetation, the law imposes strict restrictions on tree removal. Certain species and trees of ecological or historical value are protected under the Forestry Code and Natura 2000 frameworks. Unauthorized cutting can lead to significant fines or criminal liability. Liability for damages caused by falling trees is determined by the land's ownership. For trees on public land, maintenance institutions may be held responsible for accidents, whereas on private property, the individual or entity responsible for the tree's upkeep is liable under the Civil Code. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-27: Romania: Legal regulations for tree removal and liability for falling trees Romanian law protects specific tree species and mandates strict authorization for removal.
