Owners maintain trees on their own property in Rohnert Park; street trees and trees in the public right-of-way are managed by the city, which requires approval before pruning or removing them.
The dividing line in Rohnert Park is property ownership. Trees on your own lot are yours to trim and maintain, and you're expected to keep branches clear over sidewalks and streets that border your property. Street trees and anything growing in the public right-of-way belong to the city, so get approval from Public Works before pruning or removing one, even if it sits directly in front of your house. When in doubt about whether a tree is a street tree, ask Public Works before you cut.
