Tree removal permit rules in Upland, CA — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Per Upland Municipal Code Section 12.24.100, no tree may be removed from a parkway or parking strip — except on Euclid Avenue — without a permit issued by the City Manager. Final authority for removing all City trees rests with the City Manager.
Removing trees in Upland's public right-of-way is tightly controlled. Under UMC Section 12.24.100, no trees may be removed from the parkways or parking strips, except on Euclid Avenue, without a permit issued by the City Manager, and final authority for the removal of all trees rests with the City Manager. The City may remove a tree where, in its opinion, the tree constitutes a danger or hazardous condition. Removal of trees on Upland's signature Euclid Avenue median is handled separately and is subject to City Council policy established by Resolution No. 1452 (as in effect or amended). Chapter 12.26 (Tree Care) adds that the Public Works Director — with City Manager approval under Section 12.24.100 — or the Council's designee, together with the City's contract certified arborist, may approve a tree removal only if the tree is dead, diseased, hazardous, or an emergency threatens public safety, and adjacent homeowners must generally be notified at least three days before removal of live or declining trees. These are City of Upland requirements covering public/right-of-way trees and do not derive from County code.
Removing a public parkway or street tree without the required City Manager permit violates Chapter 12.24 and exposes the responsible party to Code Enforcement action and potential restitution for the tree's value.
