Moreno Valley requires property owners to maintain trees so they do not obstruct sidewalks or streets. City trees in the right-of-way are maintained by Public Works. Tree trimming near power lines requires coordination with SCE.
Property owners must maintain trees so branches do not encroach over sidewalks (8 ft clearance) or streets (14 ft clearance). Trees must not obstruct street signs, traffic signals, or intersection sight lines. City-owned street trees in the public right-of-way are maintained by the Public Works Department. Residents may not prune or damage city trees without authorization. Tree trimming near Southern California Edison power lines should be coordinated with the utility. The Inland Empire's Santa Ana winds can make poorly maintained trees hazardous.
Failure to maintain clearance: code enforcement notice. Damaging city tree: fines.
