Hillsborough County requires a tree removal permit for most trees on developed and undeveloped land under LDC §4.01.06. The current fee is approximately $81.65 for any number of trees within a 5-acre parcel, plus $24.93 per additional acre.
Single-family homeowners removing non-protected trees on their own residence are typically eligible for an over-the-counter approval. Grand oaks (DBH ≥34 in.) cannot be removed unless authorized by the County Administrator. Removal without a permit can result in replacement requirements based on caliper inches lost.
Up to $1,000 per tree plus mandatory replacement; tree-protection violations are sometimes calculated by appraised tree value.
