Canal Winchester property owners must keep trees trimmed so branches do not obstruct streets, sidewalks, or sight triangles at intersections. Trees overhanging public right-of-way require clearance of 8 feet over walks and 14 feet over streets.
The Village Arborist and city service department enforce street-tree standards. Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees on private property that threaten public ways must be removed by the owner after notice. Trimming of street trees in the city right-of-way typically requires coordination with or a permit from the service department.
Failure to trim after notice can result in the city performing the work and billing the owner, plus minor misdemeanor fines up to 150 dollars per occurrence.
