Tree removal permit rules in Jupiter, FL — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
FL 163.045 preempts Jupiter from requiring a permit or charging a fee to remove a tree on residential property if an ISA-certified arborist or FL-licensed landscape architect certifies the tree poses a danger. Replacement tree cannot be required.
For commercial properties and non-dangerous removals, Jupiter Land Development Regulations Section 27 (Landscape Code) still applies and may require mitigation planting. Specimen native trees (live oak, slash pine, sabal palm above certain DBH) may trigger review. Mangroves protected by state law. HOAs commonly require approval regardless of state preemption.
