Vallejo may have protected tree ordinances requiring permits before removal or significant trimming. Heritage and native oaks often protected.
Many California cities have protected tree ordinances covering native oaks, heritage trees, and trees above a certain trunk diameter (commonly 12+ inches). Removal of protected trees requires a permit and may require replacement planting (often 2:1 or 3:1 ratio). Routine trimming generally doesn’t require permits but must follow ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) standards. Trees overhanging property lines: owner can trim branches to the property line. Street trees are city property - do not trim without city authorization. Development projects must submit tree surveys.
Unauthorized removal of protected tree: $1,000 to $25,000+ per tree. Replacement planting required. Criminal charges possible.
