Orland Park requires permits for removal of public parkway trees and regulated trees on private property under the village's tree preservation provisions. Permits are issued by Public Works after inspection by the village forester.
All trees in the public right-of-way (parkway) are owned and maintained by the Village of Orland Park, and removal requires a permit issued by the Public Works Department. Private-property trees of regulated species or above a specified diameter (commonly 6-10 inches DBH for protected species) require a permit before removal under the village tree preservation chapter. The village forester inspects requested removals to evaluate health, safety hazard, structural defects, and disease (notably emerald ash borer). Replacement plantings are often required for healthy trees removed for development. Subdivision approvals and PUDs frequently include tree preservation plans that bind future owners. Trees on construction sites must be protected with fencing during work. HOA covenants may add private permit requirements.
Unauthorized removal of public parkway trees: $500-$2,500 plus replacement cost. Unauthorized removal of regulated private trees: $250-$1,000 per tree plus required replacement.
