Tree trimming in unincorporated Tuolumne County is essential for fire safety. Property owners must trim tree branches to at least 6 feet from ground level and maintain 10 feet spacing between canopies and from chimneys/roofs per defensible space requirements.
Defensible space requirements mandate removing dead vegetation, trimming trees with branches at least 6 feet from the ground, and maintaining 10-foot spacing between tree canopies and from chimneys and roofs. Spacing between grass, shrubs, and trees depends on the type and size of vegetation and the slope of the land. Steeper slopes require greater spacing. Chapter 8.14 (Hazardous Vegetation Management) provides the regulatory framework.
Unauthorized removal of protected tree: $1,000 to $25,000+ per tree. Replacement planting required. Criminal charges possible.
