Fillmore requires permits for removing protected trees and street trees. Property owners must apply through Community Development for approval. Dead or hazardous trees may qualify for expedited removal. Replacement planting is typically required.
Tree removal in Fillmore may require a permit depending on the species, size, and location of the tree. Street trees in the public right-of-way require city approval for removal or significant pruning. Protected trees (oaks, mature native species) on private property require a tree removal permit from Community Development. The application should include the reason for removal, species and size of the tree, photos, and a site plan. Arborist reports may be required for large or significant trees. Dead or imminently hazardous trees may qualify for emergency removal without the standard permit process. Replacement tree planting is typically required as a condition of removal approval. Trees removed without permits may result in significant penalties and replacement requirements.
Removing trees without required permits carries penalties including fines and mandatory replacement planting (often at enhanced ratios). Damage to street trees during construction is the responsibility of the contractor or property owner.
