Trees

The Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance of trees on the roads right-of-ways within the city limits.

Tree removal requires a building permit through the Community Development Department based on the rules and regulations of the Land Development Code Chapter 164 Sec. 164.090.-Tree protection. 

  • A historic tree has a 36-inch or greater DBH and is designated to have historical significance to the community.
  • A specimen tree has a 24-inch to 36-inch DBH and is protected because of unique characteristics or species.
  • Historical or specimen trees shall not be removed without the finding of the city commission that the tree is a hazard or that it is not feasible to develop the site without removing the tree.
