Dunedin Code Section 105.35.5 designates 'Grand Trees' as the city's heritage trees, requiring permits and supervision by an Approved Arborist for canopy or root pruning, with strict removal limits.
Dunedin recognizes specially designated 'Grand Trees' under Section 105.35.5 of its Land Development Code. Canopy pruning and root pruning of any Grand Tree must be performed by, or under the direct supervision of, an Approved Arborist. A permit is required even for pruning that would otherwise be exempt on non-Grand trees. Removal of a Grand Tree is reviewed under heightened standards and typically requires demonstration of hazard, disease, or unavoidable conflict with development. Replacement requirements are intensified compared to standard protected trees.
Unpermitted Grand Tree work can trigger steep code-enforcement penalties, mandatory replacement plantings, and stop-work orders on connected projects.
