Update from Community Services: the maintenance of trees that are located on private property is the responsibility of the property owner. To obtain a permit for tree removal, the property owner may contact Zoning at 727-893-7471. For more information about protected, grand, and signature trees as well as other regulations governing tree removal, please visit our Urban Forestry webpage by following the link below:

If you feel that the trees on the neighboring property are posing a safety issue for residents and that the abutting property owner is not maintaining the trees as they are required to do, please contact the Codes Compliance Assistance Department at 727-893-7373 and give that property's address.
