Brevard County requires tree removal permits for specimen and protected trees over 8 inches DBH under Code Ch. 62 LDC Article XIII. Live oaks, cypress, and mangroves receive enhanced protection.
Brevard County Land Development Code Article XIII (Landscape, Tree Protection and Land Clearing) requires a permit to remove trees exceeding 8 inches DBH (diameter at breast height, 4.5 feet above grade). Specimen trees (24+ inch DBH) and historic/significant species require enhanced review. Protected species include live oak (Quercus virginiana), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), southern magnolia, sand pine, and mangroves (red, black, white mangroves fully protected under FL §403.9321-9333 Mangrove Trimming & Preservation Act). Invasive species (Brazilian pepper, Australian pine, melaleuca) removal encouraged and exempt from permitting. Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees qualify for expedited permits. Right-of-way trees managed by Brevard County Public Works. HOAs often have additional approval requirements.
Unauthorized removal of protected tree: $500-$10,000 per tree plus mitigation replanting at 2:1 ratio. Mangrove violations: FL DEP fines up to $25,000 under §403.9333. Specimen tree removal without permit: escalated penalties.
