How do I know if my street tree needs replacement?

A professional arborist can determine tree health. City staff will not make health determinations.

Do I need a permit to remove a street tree?

Yes. A tree removal permit is required for the removal of any street tree adjacent to your property.  For properties without a planter strip, the front yard trees are officialy street trees.

How do I reserve the chipper, who can reserve the chipper and when?

The Chipper program is reserved for citizens who reside within the boundaries of the City limits.
