Pembroke Pines requires property owners to maintain trees and ensure they don't obstruct sidewalks, streets, or sight lines. The city arborist oversees tree management.
Property owners in Pembroke Pines must maintain trees to prevent obstruction of sidewalks and streets. Minimum clearance of 8 feet above sidewalks and 14 feet above streets is standard. Trees must not block traffic signs, signals, or streetlights. The city arborist manages public trees and advises on private tree issues. In South Florida's hurricane zone, proper tree trimming is important for storm preparedness. Over-pruning (hat-racking/topping) is discouraged as it weakens trees.
Failure to maintain clearance results in notices. The city may perform trimming and bill the owner.
