Huntsville does not regulate routine tree trimming on private property. Property owners are responsible for maintaining trees so they do not obstruct streets, sidewalks, or utility lines.
Street trees and trees in the public right-of-way are maintained by Huntsville Public Works Operations. Residents must keep private trees trimmed to maintain 14 ft clearance over streets and 8 ft over sidewalks. Huntsville Utilities trims around power lines. No permit is needed for pruning healthy private trees.
