Tree removal permits in Florin (unincorporated Sacramento County) are issued by Planning & Environmental Review under Chapter 19.04 (heritage trees) and Chapter 19.12 (tree preservation). Applications typically require an arborist report justifying removal and a replacement plan.
The Tree Permit process requires submittal of a site plan, arborist report (often ISA-certified), and replacement-tree plan. Heritage and protected oaks generally cannot be removed for aesthetic preference - acceptable justifications include hazard, dead/diseased condition, or unavoidable conflict with permitted construction. The County may require 3:1 replacement at 24-inch box minimum or in-lieu fee per inch of trunk lost.
Unpermitted removal triggers stop-work, appraised-value penalty, and required replacement. Sacramento County has prosecuted developers for unpermitted oak removal.
