Tree Removal Permit Requirements by City: 32-City 2026 Data

What are tree removal permit requirements by city in the 32-jurisdiction index?

The index records what triggers a municipal tree-removal permit, the issuing office, the published fee or mitigation, and the verification status for each jurisdiction. Thresholds remain in the unit the issuer publishes, and a field the sources do not support is identified as excluded rather than filled by inference.

What does this index show—and what does it not show?

This is a purposive sample of 32 jurisdictions selected for geographic and regulatory diversity, source clarity, and inclusion of this publication's home city. It is not a random or representative sample of the 19,491 U.S. municipal governments counted in 2022, so the 16/5/5/6 model split describes this dataset and nothing beyond it.

For a national survey result, Hauer and Peterson's 2014 census remains the relevant published benchmark used here: 89% of 657 respondents reported at least one tree ordinance, while 25% of 579 responding municipalities with an ordinance reported a private-property tree-cutting restriction. The denominators differ, and both belong with the percentages.

The gap between an ordinance and a private-property removal restriction is the most commonly flattened distinction in this subject. A city can operate an urban-forestry department, participate in Tree City USA, and enforce a tree ordinance without requiring a permit for an ordinary homeowner to remove an ordinary private-yard tree.

How was the 2026 city permit index built and verified?

Every published row was compiled from issuer-controlled material: enacted municipal code, the responsible department's current page, an official checklist or application, or the current fee schedule. Drafts, proposed ordinances, archived pages, secondary permit directories, cost calculators, and service-company guides were not used as authority for a current legal or fee claim.

What we collected, per jurisdiction:

The private-residential trigger; protected, heritage, ordinance-size, or location threshold in native language; street and right-of-way rule; development trigger; dead and hazardous-tree treatment; published fee; mitigation or replacement basis; penalty basis; issuing office; source legal status; source date; verification tier; and fields excluded from the release.

How we processed it:

1. 1.Native units are preserved. DBH, DSH, caliper, and circumference remain exactly as the issuer publishes them. A mathematical comparison appears only in the separately labeled conversion table.
2. 2.One primary model is assigned to each jurisdiction. The A/B/C/D model is editorial analysis applied to verified facts. It makes unlike systems comparable but does not erase overlapping rules inside a city.
3. 3.Excluded is a data value. Where the official material did not support a defensible statement, the field says "Not published in this release" or appears in the excluded-fields register. No blank is treated as zero, and silence on an issuer page is not converted into "no permit required."
4. 4.Current enacted law outranks summaries. When a current code or fee schedule conflicts with an older agency page, the current legal or fee source controls and the source drift is recorded.
5. 5.Every count is reproducible. The 16/5/5/6 model count is a direct count of the 32 rows in Table 1. It is not weighted, modeled, or extrapolated.

Dates. All 32 rows were checked on July 28, 2026. Version 2026.07.28 is immutable; a correction creates a new dated version and a change-log entry identifying the row, old value, new value, reason, and source.

What we did not do. We did not survey municipalities, contact permit offices, estimate unpublished costs, convert missing values to zero, or model nationwide prevalence from this purposive sample. Every number is either a source-published figure, transparent arithmetic, or a count of the released rows.

What size tree needs a removal permit?

There is no single national threshold, and the reason is not only that the numbers differ. The measurement points and regulated classes differ too: Orlando uses caliper, Seattle uses DSH, Washington, D.C. uses circumference, and several cities regulate only named species, particular locations, or development contexts.

Which cities regulate broad classes of private trees, and which protect narrower classes?

The 32 jurisdictions divide into four primary models: 16 broad private-property systems, 5 protected-class systems, 5 development-led systems, and 6 public- or street-tree-first systems. The categories identify the dominant trigger in the material reviewed; they do not imply that every city inside a category uses the same threshold or exemptions.

Model A — Broad private-property permit system (16).

Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Atlanta, Austin, Tampa, Miami, Orlando, Sarasota, Jacksonville, San José, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Washington, D.C., and Cambridge. "Broad" describes the reach of the system, not a universal species-neutral rule: Orange Beach is species-tiered, Jacksonville is location-tiered, and Seattle is tiered by size and status.

Model B — Protected-class trigger (5).

Mobile, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Charlotte, and Nashville. The controlling question is whether the tree falls inside a defined protected species, heritage class, spatial relationship, or other designated category.

Model C — Development-led (5).

San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, League City, and Raleigh. The framework principally attaches to development, clearing, site planning, landscape review, or a property-use exemption. San Antonio's completed single-family-home exemption and Dallas's under-two-acre single-family rule show why development context cannot be collapsed into a citywide yes or no.

Model D — Public and street trees first (6).

Fairhope, Montgomery, Denver, Boston, New York City, and New Orleans. The official material clearly governs public or right-of-way trees, while an ordinary private-yard trigger either is expressly absent from the responsible agency's jurisdiction or was not established by the issuer material reviewed.

What does a tree removal permit cost?

The published amounts in this index are not one kind of charge. An application fee, per-tree fee, mitigation payment, replacement duty, Tree Fund payment, professional report, and civil penalty measure different obligations and should never be combined into a single "average permit cost" without a defined method.

Can state law override or condition a city tree ordinance?

Yes. A city threshold can be accurately quoted and still not control a particular property because state law creates a documented-risk exception, requires mitigation credits, limits local authority over forestry, enables only defined local regulation, or mandates a municipal ordinance.

How are dead, storm-damaged, and hazardous trees treated?

There is no universal dead-tree exemption. Atlanta still requires a permit for a dead or dying private tree, Sarasota's permit requirement expressly includes dead, prohibited, and undesirable trees, and San José requires a permit for a dead ordinance-size tree on a single-family or duplex lot.

What changes is the pathway. Orlando's residential danger-tree route requires specified professional documentation, Florida's statute creates a narrowly defined documented-risk exception, Washington, D.C. directs the Mayor to issue a permit for a tree shown to be hazardous, and other cities use emergency or after-the-fact procedures under their own rules.

Storm-damaged trees can involve unstable loads, uprooting, concealed defects, and energized conductors. Felling, dismantling, rigging, and line-clearance work are handled by qualified professionals under applicable safety standards; this page reports permit rules and does not instruct readers how to perform hazardous work. See also: hazardous tree removal in Mobile, AL.

What are tree removal permit requirements in Mobile, Alabama and the Alabama Gulf Coast?

Mobile does not use one blanket private-tree rule. Permit status changes with right-of-way status, development status, residential or commercial use, historic-district status, species, and DBH; the neighboring Gulf Coast comparison shows that the same tree can receive opposite municipal answers.

Heritage Tree species listed by the City of Mobile: hickory (Carya spp.), longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), magnolia (Magnolia spp.), oak (Quercus spp.) excluding water oak (Quercus nigra), river birch (Betula nigra), sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), and yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera).

Which published figures have changed or conflict with current issuer material?

Several numbers still circulating in summaries have been superseded, and several apparently conflicting figures turn out to describe different regulatory tiers. The provenance log keeps the current primary-source value and identifies the source of the mismatch without silently blending the figures.

What changed recently, and why does it matter?

Several jurisdictions changed a material rule or fee within the period covered by this release. A page-level date alone cannot show which row changed, so the downloadable dataset carries a verification date, source status, and source-effective date for each record.

• Atlanta:ordinance rewrite adopted in 2025; $140-per-diameter-inch recompense took effect January 1, 2026; CPI indexing begins January 1, 2027.
• Portland:the tree-removal and replanting permit application fee changed to $0 for applications received on or after July 1, 2025; the replanting-waiver fee remains $50.
• San Francisco:the current Public Works permit fee schedule is effective July 1, 2026.
• Gulf Shores:Ordinance No. 2206 was adopted March 23, 2026 and is the current endpoint for this release.
• Seattle:Ordinance 127300 became effective January 21, 2026 and changed Tier 2 treatment in development cases.
• Washington, D.C.:D.C. Law 26-113 became effective May 21, 2026 and lowered the Special Tree threshold to 40 inches while updating statutory adjustment provisions.
• Jacksonville:the cited Land Development Procedures Manual volume is the 2026 edition and supplies the location-based protected-tree thresholds used here.

A dated quote is more defensible than an undated number, but the row-level source remains the controlling reference. Version history is retained so a prior citation can be reconstructed after a later release.

Which fields are excluded from this release?

The exclusions below are deliberate data-integrity decisions, not placeholders. No excluded field is used in a key statistic, model count, fee range, or FAQ answer.

• Houston: no blanket ordinary-private-residential trigger, private-tree fee, mitigation amount, or penalty amount is published here; the verified material is development- and public-tree-led.
• Miami: the complete species, size, exemption, fee, mitigation, and penalty matrix is not reproduced; only the enacted Chapter 17 applicability statement is published.
• Los Angeles: current permit fee, mitigation schedule, penalties, and all project-specific exceptions are excluded.
• Seattle: current fee and a flattened post-2026 decision tree for every Tier 2 development case are excluded.
• Nashville: the complete protected-tree definition, exact current waiver exceptions, fee, full mitigation schedule, and penalties are excluded; the two verified official statements remain visible together.
• Charlotte: no application-fee amount is published because it was not confirmed in the official fee schedule used for this release.
• San Antonio: district-specific preservation percentages, current application fees, and the full mitigation table are excluded.
• Jacksonville: the table publishes the current core thresholds and fees but not every code exemption or mitigation calculation.
• Mobile County: no private-residential trigger is published because the county material reviewed did not support a definitive answer.
• Municipalities outside the 32-row sample: no conclusion is implied for Birmingham, Daphne, Foley, Spanish Fort, Bay Minette, Robertsdale, Loxley, Silverhill, Summerdale, Elberta, Magnolia Springs, Prichard, Saraland, Satsuma, Chickasaw, Semmes, Citronelle, Bayou La Batre, Creola, Mount Vernon, Dauphin Island, or any other unlisted jurisdiction.
• The remaining 44 states: Table 5 is a six-state statutory layer, not a completed 50-state preemption or enabling-law survey.

What are the limitations of this comparison?

This comparison is educational and is not a parcel-specific legal determination. A property can be affected simultaneously by city limits, county rules, special districts, development approvals, private covenants, conservation easements, wetlands and coastal regulation, protected-species law, historic-district review, utility easements, and public right-of-way boundaries that are outside this index.

The 32 jurisdictions were purposively selected, not randomly sampled, so the model counts describe this dataset only. Assigning one primary model necessarily simplifies jurisdictions that operate overlapping systems; Mobile, for example, is coded B while using a context-dependent matrix, and Jacksonville is coded A while using location-based thresholds.

Municipal codes, fee schedules, forms, and issuing offices can change after the verification date. "Not published in this release" means the field was excluded because the reviewed sources did not support a defensible published value; it is not evidence that no rule or charge exists. The circumference-to-diameter values in Table 3 are arithmetic approximations with no legal force.

The linked issuing authority is the source for a current property-specific determination. A permit decision and a tree-work safety decision are separate; authorization does not establish that hazardous work is safe to perform.

What is included in the downloadable dataset?

The CSV and JSON publish the same 23 fields for all 32 rows: dataset version; row ID; city; state; jurisdiction scope; primary rule model; private-residential trigger; protected threshold in native text; street-tree rule; development trigger; dead/hazard treatment; fee; mitigation; penalty; issuing office; source title; source URL; source legal status; source effective or revision date; verification date; verification tier; excluded fields; and notes. Each release also includes a data dictionary and a change log.

What are the most common tree removal permit questions?

These answers restate the page's verified findings in compact form. Each answer remains subject to the exact jurisdiction, tree class, property context, and source date shown in the tables.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my own property?

It depends on the city, the tree, the property type, and the tree's location. In this 32-jurisdiction dataset, 16 jurisdictions use a broad private-property permit system, 5 primarily regulate a protected class, 5 are development-led, and 6 are public- or street-tree-first; those counts describe this purposive dataset, not all U.S. municipalities.

What size tree requires a removal permit?

The published triggers in this index begin at over 4 inches of caliper in Orlando and use several different measurement systems. A valid comparison must retain each city's own unit, including DBH, DSH, caliper, or circumference.

Can I remove a dead or hazardous tree without a permit?

There is no universal dead-tree exemption. Atlanta, Sarasota, and San José each require permits in circumstances involving dead trees, while other jurisdictions provide a documented hazard pathway or a state-law exception.

Can state law override or condition a city tree ordinance?

Yes. Florida Statute §163.045 prevents a local permit, fee, mitigation, or replanting requirement in its precisely defined documented-risk circumstance, and Texas Local Government Code §212.905 controls municipal mitigation credits and specified exemptions.

Are street trees regulated differently from private trees?

Yes. Many jurisdictions regulate street or right-of-way trees regardless of whether the same city requires a permit for an ordinary private-yard tree. Property-line assumptions do not establish whether a tree is inside the public right-of-way.

How much does a tree removal permit cost?

Published application fees in this index run from zero in several identified programs to $2,009 for ten or more removals under San Francisco's fee schedule effective July 1, 2026. Application fees, mitigation, replacement obligations, Tree Fund payments, penalties, and professional documentation are separate costs.

Does HOA approval replace a city permit?

No. Private covenant approval and government authorization are separate systems, and satisfying one does not establish compliance with the other.

What if the property is outside city limits?

County, special-district, or other jurisdictional rules may control. For Mobile County, the official pages reviewed did not supply a private-residential tree-removal trigger specific enough to publish either a permit-required or no-permit conclusion.

What is the difference between DBH, DSH, caliper, and circumference?

DBH and DSH are diameter measurements taken at a specified trunk height, with DSH using Seattle's defined average-grade and multi-stem rules. Caliper is a near-base trunk-diameter term whose legal measurement point comes from the controlling ordinance, while circumference is the distance around the trunk at the specified height.

What are the primary sources for this dataset?

The list below contains the issuer, statute publisher, agency, or original data producer used for the published claims. Sources were checked during the July 28, 2026verification pass; a source's own effective date remains controlling where it is stated.
