Tree removal permit rules in Rohnert Park, CA — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Owners may remove trees on private property in Rohnert Park; removal of street trees or protected trees requires city approval, and replacement may be required during development.
In Rohnert Park, what you can do with a tree depends on whose tree it is and where it stands. Trees on your own property are generally yours to remove. Street trees — those in the public right-of-way — and any tree with protected status require city approval before removal, with public works and planning as the responsible departments. Development projects add a third layer: the city may condition approvals on replacement plantings for what comes down. Before removing anything near the sidewalk, curb or property edge, confirm its status; right-of-way boundaries aren't always where they appear.
