Property owners can remove significant trees if there is an emergency and

s form is designed to be completed by property owners that have
already removed a significant tree.
APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS
Once you submit the Imminent Threat Tree Removal Notification Form and
accompanying documentation, it will be reviewed by staff to determine if
the tree removal qualified as an imminent threat.

times.
If the condition that prompted the removal does not qualify as an
imminent threat, staff will contact you to discuss next steps which will
include a retroactive permit for significant tree removal and/or the tree
removal actions being subject to Code Enforcement.
FEES
