Tree removal permit rules in Titusville, FL — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Titusville's Land Development Regulations address tree protection and landscaping requirements. Tree removal permits are required for protected species. The LDR includes provisions for landscape yards, buffer screens, and utility landscaping under Chapter 30, Article III, Division 10.
Titusville's tree removal regulations protect the urban tree canopy by requiring permits before removing trees over 6 inches in diameter measured at breast height (DBH, 4.5 feet above ground). Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees may qualify for expedited removal permits. Certain species are designated as protected and require additional review before removal is approved. Heritage or significant trees (typically 24+ inches DBH or historically designated) require planning commission approval. When removal is approved, the city may require replacement planting at a ratio of 1:1 to 3:1 depending on the tree removed. Unauthorized removal of protected trees carries significant penalties. Development projects must submit tree preservation plans.
Removing a protected tree without a permit: $500–$5,000 per tree. Heritage tree violations: up to $10,000 per tree plus mandatory replacement planting. Stop-work orders for development sites with unauthorized removal.
