Shreveport requires property owners to maintain trees that overhang public rights-of-way. Branches must provide adequate clearance over sidewalks and streets.
Property owners must trim trees on their property that overhang public sidewalks and streets. Branches must maintain at least 8 feet of clearance over sidewalks and 14 feet over streets.

Failure to maintain clearance results in notices. The city may trim and bill the property owner.
