Non-single family residential properties: All non-single family properties (office, commercial, industrial, and apartments) are required to have trees on site. Most properties were developed with an approved landscape plan. The trees, shrubs and groundcover shown in the approved plan must be maintained on site at all times. Dead, dying or missing landscaping, including trees, must be replaced with the same material or trees. Failure to maintain the landscaping on site could result in a code compliance violation.
If an owner of a non-single family residential property wishes to remove or replace any trees on site, he/she should contact Dan Robinson to discuss. A revised landscape plan may be approved if the plan meets the current standards of the Unified Development Code.
Single Family Residential: Generally speaking, tree removal on single family properties does not require a permit. However, there are situations where trees were planted or not removed during construction to meet minimum buffer standards. These trees may not be removed. If you wish to remove a tree on your property, contact Amy Bingham to discuss.
