Tree removal permit rules in Hanford, CA — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Hanford has no standalone heritage tree ordinance. Removal of trees in the public right-of-way requires a permit from Public Works. Trees on private property generally do not require a permit unless designated in an approved landscape plan.
Hanford Municipal Code Title 12 governs streets and sidewalks, including street trees. Permits from Public Works are required before removing trees in the public right-of-way. Trees on private property are generally not subject to a removal permit unless protected in an approved landscape plan or subdivision agreement. HOA CC&Rs may impose additional restrictions in many Hanford subdivisions.
Unauthorized removal: $500 to $10,000 per tree. Replacement planting required. Street tree damage: city restitution costs.
