Englewood's Chapter 425 governs trimming and pruning of regulated trees, with the City Engineer overseeing permits and replacement requirements when work damages protected specimens.
Englewood Chapter 425 protects regulated trees, defined as deciduous or coniferous trees at least 30 feet tall or with a diameter of eight inches or greater before pruning. Significant pruning, limb removal, or other activities affecting these trees fall under the chapter. The City Engineer reviews tree work and may require a project permit or permit waiver. Improperly damaging a regulated tree can trigger replacement assessments equal to the appraised value, as determined by the City Arborist or a certified expert retained by Englewood.
Heavy pruning that damages a regulated tree, ignoring permit waiver paperwork, or failing to obtain City Engineer authorization before substantial limb removal.
