Yuma does not generally require permits for tree removal on private property. State-protected native plants (certain cacti) require AZDA approval. Trees on city property or ROW need city permission.
Yuma does not require a city permit for tree removal on private property for most species. Arizona state law protects certain native plants (primarily cacti — saguaro, barrel cactus, etc.) and removal requires AZDA approval statewide. Trees in city rights-of-way or on city property cannot be removed without permission from Public Works. Development projects must comply with Article 20 landscaping requirements and may need to account for tree removal and replacement in required landscape areas.
Removing state-protected plants without AZDA approval violates state law. Removing city trees without permission is a violation.
