   All healthy, non-invasive trees measuring five (5) inches or greater in diameter at breast height (DBH) are protected trees within the City.

If you are not sure if your proposed tree removal fits into one of these categories, please ask staff, who may suggest measures to help preserve the tree or recommend evaluation by a Certified Arborist. Please allow 3-5 business days to process your application.
