Tree removal permits required in Duluth for healthy trees above DBH threshold. Application through Planning & Development; arborist review for larger trees.
Duluth Code Chapter 16 requires a Tree Removal Permit for healthy protected trees above the DBH threshold. Application includes: site plan showing tree location, species, DBH, reason for removal, and replacement plan. Fees modest for single-tree residential; development-site permits scale with site area. Hazard trees may be removed under a separate hazard determination process, often with arborist documentation. City Arborist reviews applications for specimen trees.
Removal without permit: stop-work order, fines up to $1,000 per tree, mandatory replacement. Construction-site violations may halt the entire project.
