Update from Community Services: The reported tree is on private property. City Ordinance 16.40.060.3.1 addresses "Maintenance of trees and vegetation for all properties within the City", and it states:
A.The owner of record of the property and occupant of the property are responsible for the maintenance of trees and vegetation on private property and in abutting rights-of-way.
If the property owner feels that the tree needs to be removed, they are therefore responsible for the removal. They may wish to contact the City's office of Urban Forestry (727-892-5557) to find out if there are any permit requirements before they contact a licensed tree removal company:
