West Jordan Municipal Code Title 10 (Streets and Sidewalks) requires property owners to trim trees so branches maintain 8 feet of clearance over sidewalks and 14 feet over streets. The Public Works Department may abate overhanging limbs after 10-day notice.
Under West Jordan's streetscape provisions, adjacent property owners must keep trees and shrubs pruned so they do not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular passage. Minimum vertical clearance is 8 feet over sidewalks/trails and 14 feet over roadways to accommodate emergency vehicles and Salt Lake County solid waste trucks. Trees on park strips (between curb and sidewalk) are property-owner responsibility despite being on public right-of-way. The city arborist may tag trees damaging sidewalks for removal or root pruning at owner expense. Violations of visibility triangles at intersections (10-foot clear zone) are prioritized for traffic safety.
Failure to maintain clearance: 10-day notice, then city trims and bills owner. Civil penalties up to $500 per Title 1-5. Intersection visibility violations: immediate abatement authorized.
