Private tree trimming in Citrus Heights generally does not require a permit, but street trees and heritage trees require city approval before pruning.
Routine trimming of private landscape trees in Citrus Heights does not require a permit. However, any work on street trees located in the public right-of-way requires prior authorization from the Citrus Heights Public Works Department. The city encourages ISA certified arborists for work on mature trees. Utility clearance pruning is handled by SMUD or PG and E per California Public Utilities Commission General Order 95. Trees near property lines are covered by California Civil Code rules allowing neighbors to trim encroaching branches back to the property line, provided the health of the tree is not jeopardized.
