Routine pruning of non-protected trees in Brandon does not require a County permit, but pruning of any grand oak (>34 inches DBH) requires compliance with ANSI A300 standards performed by an ISA-certified arborist per LDC §4.01.06.
Trimming any tree in the public right-of-way requires coordination with Public Works. Hat-racking (severe topping) is prohibited and can be cited as a code violation. Tree work for utility line clearance is governed by the Florida Right Tree Right Place rules.
Improper grand-oak pruning carries up to $1,000 per tree; hat-racking can result in tree-replacement requirements.
