Is an Arbor Permit required to cut down a tree?
Yes. An Arbor Permit is required to cut down, substantially alter, destroy, move or effectively destroy any tree in the City. This includes trees on single family lots as well as commercial and multi-family properties. Arbor permits are only issued for trees that are dead, dying or in imminent danger of damaging property. There are separate arbor permits for commercial/multi-family/homeowner associations and one- and two-family dwellings.
