Tree removal permit rules in Port Hueneme, CA — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Tree removal in Port Hueneme may require a permit for protected, significant, or coastal zone trees. Verify with Planning & Zoning Division.
Port Hueneme may regulate the removal of significant or protected trees under PHMC and the city's zoning provisions. Heritage or landmark trees may require Community Development approval before removal. Street trees are city property and cannot be trimmed or removed without authorization.

Property owners are responsible for maintaining trees on their property so they do not create hazards for sidewalks, power lines, or neighboring properties.
