Tree removal permit rules in Bostonia, CA — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
San Diego County has no general tree-preservation ordinance, so removing a tree on private Bostonia land needs no permit. Removing trees in the county road right-of-way requires a free DPW permit.
A countywide tree ordinance was once proposed but never adopted after backcountry and agricultural residents objected. As a result, there is no permit to cut down trees on private property in unincorporated San Diego County. Protection exists only indirectly: oak woodlands and sensitive habitat can be protected through the Resource Protection Ordinance and open-space easements on discretionary development projects. Removing a tree within a County road right-of-way requires the free DPW right-of-way tree permit.
No penalty for private-property removal. Removing right-of-way trees without the DPW permit, or clearing protected habitat under a discretionary project, can trigger restoration or enforcement.
