Tree Protection Ordinance
"Trees are a valuable community resource that serve to improve air and water quality, reduce soil erosion, reduce noise and glare, provide habitat for wildlife, moderate the climate and enhance community livability and property values."
Naples Tree Protection Ordinance
In June of 2017, the City Council adopted a revised Chapter 38 – Tree Protection of the City’s Code of Ordinances. This chapter of the code provides articles for protecting publicly owned trees.
The City's ordinance protects trees and palms within the right-of-way, parks, medians, and other public lands. The ordinance establishes regulations governing the protection and management of city-owned trees and governing the management of diseased trees.
It includes rules for altering city trees and preserving their drip lines related to development and construction. It establishes rules for emergency tree removal, and it creates a Tree Board to oversee related activities.
We invite you to become familiar with the Tree Protection Ordinance before doing any work on or near a city tree.
