Under FL 163.045, Jupiter cannot require a permit to trim or prune a tree on residential property if an ISA-certified arborist or FL-licensed landscape architect documents the tree poses a danger. Routine trimming for health is not regulated by the town.
Florida Statute 163.045 (2019, amended 2022) preempts local permit requirements for tree trimming or removal on residential property when documented as dangerous. For non-dangerous trimming, Jupiter encourages ANSI A300 pruning standards. Utility-line clearance handled by FPL. Mangroves on shoreline parcels are protected by FL 403.9321 regardless of local rules and require DEP approval to trim.
