Deltona regulates tree care under Chapter 98 (Natural Resource Protection). Tree trimming and maintenance is expected of property owners. Removal of certain protected trees requires a permit. The city follows Florida-Friendly Landscaping principles under FL §373.185.
Deltona requires property owners in city limits to maintain trees that encroach on public rights-of-way. Branches must be trimmed to provide at least 8 feet of vertical clearance over sidewalks and 14 feet over public roadways. Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees that pose a risk to public safety may be ordered removed at the owner's expense. The public works department maintains trees in city road rights-of-way. Protected or heritage tree ordinances may apply in certain areas — check with Deltona planning before removing large trees. The tropical/subtropical climate influences tree growth patterns and maintenance schedules.
Failure to trim overhanging branches after a notice results in the county performing the work and billing the owner $200–$2,000 depending on scope. Emergency removals for hazardous trees may be performed without prior notice.
