Pompano Beach does not require a permit for tree trimming, but trimming must be performed by a Broward County Licensed Tree Trimmer.

Sight visibility triangles must be maintained at intersections.
The City of Pompano Beach does not require a permit for tree trimming, but all tree trimming must be performed by a Broward County Licensed Tree Trimmer. Section 155.5204 (Tree Preservation) of the Zoning Code prohibits severe pruning, shearing, topping, or shaping trees as shrubs. Trees subjected to such treatment no longer serve their intended buffering or screening function and are considered tree abuse. For visibility clearance, trees may be maintained within sight visibility triangles if no limbs or foliage extend between 3 feet and 6 feet above grade. Required landscaping must be maintained per species-appropriate standards.
Tree topping and severe pruning violate §155.5204. Using an unlicensed tree trimmer violates Broward County regulations.
