Huntington Beach does not have a standalone heritage tree ordinance. Trees on public property are maintained by the city. Significant trees may be protected through development conditions and environmental review under CEQA.
Huntington Beach does not maintain a specific heritage or landmark tree registry. However, significant trees on public property are maintained and protected by the Public Works Department. Trees on private property that are identified as biologically significant during CEQA environmental review may be protected through project conditions of approval. Removal of trees in the Coastal Zone may require a Coastal Development Permit if considered major vegetation. Trees in parkways and public rights-of-way require city authorization for any trimming or removal.
Unauthorized removal of public trees results in fines and replacement requirements. Violating development conditions protecting trees is enforceable.
