Unincorporated Utah County does not publish a residential tree trimming ordinance. Property owners are responsible for maintaining trees on their property. Trees overhanging county roads should maintain at least 14 feet of vertical clearance for traffic safety. Trees near county road rights-of-way that obstruct sight lines or create hazards may be subject to county road maintenance action.
