Madera Code Title V Chapter 6 regulates street trees in the parkway / right-of-way — including approved species, tree replacement, protection during construction, abuse of trees, and unsafe trees. The Public Works Department maintains an approved street tree list and issues permits for planting / removing trees in the public right-of-way.
Chapter 6 (Title V — Sanitation and Health) gives the City authority over trees in the public right-of-way (the parkway strip between sidewalk and curb). The Public Works Department maintains an approved street-tree list. Removal, severe pruning, or planting of any tree in the right-of-way requires a permit. Damaging, defacing, or pouring chemicals on a street tree is prohibited under the 'abuse of trees' section. Trees that are dead, dying, or hazardous may be designated 'unsafe' and ordered abated under §5-6. Construction near street trees requires protective barriers; damage during construction is charged back to the contractor.
Unauthorized removal or damage to a street tree is a Title I citation escalating $100 / $200 / $500, plus replacement-cost recovery (typically the appraised value of the tree using ISA standards). Persistent violations may be misdemeanor.
