Pasadena does not require tree removal permits for residential private property. The Landscape Ordinance addresses tree planting for commercial development. Street trees in public rights-of-way require city authorization before removal.
The City of Pasadena does not require permits for removing trees on residential private property. The Landscape Ordinance establishes tree planting and landscape buffer requirements primarily for commercial and multi-family development, not residential tree removal. Street trees in city-maintained rights-of-way are managed by the Public Works Department and cannot be removed without city authorization. There is no residential tree survey or preservation requirement for home construction or renovation projects.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Pasadena code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
