If the tree is endangered, or the root system is what is holding soil in place preventing landslides, or there is an endangered something else on the land you are sometimes blocked from cutting a tree.

California is famous for such regulations. In other states you are unlikely to have problems.

Sure, we're talking about the exceptions vs the rule. The rule, generally, is you can do whatever you want with trees on your private property. There are relatively rare exceptions in cases like you mentioned if an endangered bird has a nest on your tree or something.

Cutting down trees without a permit is illegal in pretty much all of Australia.
