Tree removal permit rules in Pomona, CA — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Pomona has a Tree Preservation Program protecting significant trees including oak trees. Removal of protected trees requires an Oak Tree Permit or Minor Certificate of Appropriateness from the Planning Division.
The City of Pomona's Tree Preservation Program protects significant trees, particularly oak trees and trees in historic districts. Removal of a protected oak tree requires an Oak Tree Permit from the Planning Division. Trees in designated historic areas may require a Minor Certificate of Appropriateness before removal or significant trimming. Street trees (those in the public right-of-way) are managed by the Public Works Department and may not be removed without city authorization. Private trees that are not protected species may generally be removed by the property owner, though stump removal and grading may require separate permits.
Unauthorized removal of a protected tree may result in code enforcement action, fines, and requirements to plant replacement trees. Oak tree violations may carry significant penalties.
