Do I need a permit to plant a tree in the right-of-way or parkway?

No, however, the tree must be pruned to allow safe passage of vehicles and pedestrians, as well as to maintain a safe line of sight. The following clearances must be maintained:

  • 14’ 6” over roadways
  • 8’ 6” over sidewalks
  • 3’ or less for shrubs

Any plantings in the public right-of-way may be trimmed by the City to ensure public safety.
