San Leandro property owners must keep vegetation trimmed back from streets and sidewalks. Street trees are regulated by Public Works; permits needed for city tree work.
The San Leandro Municipal Code requires property owners to maintain trees and shrubs so they do not obstruct sidewalks (8 ft clearance), streets (14 ft clearance), streetlights, traffic signs, or sight triangles at intersections. Street trees in the public right of way are city-owned and managed by Public Works; residents may not prune them without a permit. Heritage and protected trees on private property may also require permits before major pruning.
