Property owners in Spanish Fork are responsible for maintaining trees on their property. Trees overhanging public rights-of-way or creating safety hazards may be subject to city action.
Spanish Fork does not publish a detailed residential tree trimming ordinance, but property owners must maintain vegetation that overhangs public sidewalks, streets, or rights-of-way. Tree branches over sidewalks must maintain at least 8 feet of clearance; branches over streets must maintain at least 14 feet of clearance. Clear vision area requirements at corners apply to trees pruned below 8 feet. Trees on city property or in the public parkway strip are the city's responsibility.
