Centennial, CO Landscaping Rules: Tree Trimming (2026)

Centennial Municipal Code § 7-2-60(c)(2) makes it unlawful to let landscape materials, a defined term that includes trees and tree branches, encroach within eight vertical feet of any sidewalk or pedestrian walkway, or within fifteen vertical feet of any public property used for vehicular traffic. The rule sits in the City's nuisance and obstruction chapter alongside dumping and debris violations, so an overhanging limb is treated the same as a stockpile of construction debris blocking the right-of-way: it's the property owner's job to keep it trimmed back, not the City's.
