SECTION 2
STANDARD TREE REMOVAL & REPLANTING PERMIT APPLICATION
I am applying for a standard Tree Removal Permit Application
EMERGENCY TREE WORK/RETROACTIVE PERMIT APPLICATION
I had to remove the tree(s) and/or portion of tree(s) because the actively failing condition and
location(s) and/or portion of the tree(s) presented such a clear and present immediate danger to
structures or to the health and safety of the public that there was insufficient time to obtain a tree
permit. I am submitting this application within 7 days of the work in order to receive a retroactive
Tree Permit. I have included photographic evidence or other documentation of the hazardous
portion(s) of the tree(s) of the clear and immediate danger that created the emergency. NOTE- The
property owner or authorized representative and/or tree care provider may be found in violation of
City code if it is determined that regulated trees were removed without a permit and the
owner/applicant is unable to demonstrate the emergency.
