Trees & Landscaping

Trees are defined as any woody self-supporting plant characterized by having a single trunk or multistem trunk system with well-developed crown, capable of reaching ten feet high as measured from its base.

Contact the planning division at (386) 506-5601 or [email protected] for more information to determine if the tree you would like to remove requires a permit from the City.

Whenever possible look for ways to reduce high water need plants and sod and replace with drought tolerant, Florida Friendly plants.
