Tree removal permit rules in South Jordan, UT — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Trees on private property may be removed without permit; park strip and protected trees in development zones require city approval.
Per SJMC Title 15 (Land Use) and the city's urban forestry guidelines, private property owners may remove trees on their own land without a city permit in most cases. Park-strip trees (between sidewalk and curb) are considered city right-of-way and require a permit and/or approval from the Parks and Recreation Department before removal or significant pruning. New subdivisions and site plans often include mandatory tree preservation or replacement through recorded landscape plans; removal of plan-designated trees requires planning approval and typically 1:1 or 2:1 replacement. ISA-certified arborists recommended. Contact Blue Stakes (811) before removal involving stump grinding.
