Miami Gardens may have protected tree ordinances for specific species. Pre-hurricane season tree trimming (before June 1) is strongly encouraged for safety. Mangroves are protected statewide under FL Statutes §403.9321-.9333 and require permits for trimming. Heritage and specimen trees (large diameter) may require permits for removal. Street trees are city property and require authorization for work. Branches overhanging your property from a neighbor’s tree can be trimmed to the property line. Palm tree trimming is common and generally unregulated.
Unauthorized removal of protected trees: $500 to $10,000+ per tree. Mangrove violations: state enforcement. Replacement planting may be required.
