Do I need a permit to cut down a tree?

Yes. However, there are certain exceptions.

A tree permit can be obtained by completing the "Tree Removal Application". This will need to be submitted along with a copy of your survey, indicating the tree(s) for removal. There is a fee of $10 per tree, payable by check or cash only.

Please contact the Planning Department with any questions at (352) 394-3598 x172.
