    Public Works - Arbor

  • 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. Clearances that must be maintained are:

    • 3 feet or less for shrubs
    • 8 feet 6 inches over sidewalks
    • 14 feet 6 inches over roadways

    Please be aware that any plantings in the public right-of-way may be trimmed by City maintenance personnel or contract personnel. The City only trims trees for clearance and line-of-sight issues, in accordance with the Florida Department of Transportation Maintenance Rating Program Standards, not for aesthetics. Always call 811 prior to digging.
