Chandler does not require permits for removing trees on private residential property. City-owned trees in the public right-of-way are managed by the Urban Forestry program and cannot be removed without authorization.
Chandler does not mandate permits for homeowners removing trees on their own residential lots. However, trees in the public right-of-way, parks, and city-maintained areas are managed by Chandler's Urban Forestry program. The city is dedicated to protecting and preserving natural resources and assists with planning for planting, care, preservation, trimming, and removal of trees on city property. New developments must meet landscaping standards that may require tree plantings. HOA CC&Rs may restrict tree removal in planned communities. Chandler encourages planting native and drought-tolerant trees.
Removing or damaging city-owned trees without authorization can result in fines and mandatory replacement. Private property trees are generally unregulated.
