Aurora may require replacement tree planting when approving tree removal. Infected, damaged, or diseased trees must be treated or removed and replaced. The UDO specifies landscaping replacement standards.
Aurora's UDO requires that infected, damaged, or diseased plant material be treated to remove the infection, damage, or disease if a treatment exists, and removed and replaced if no treatment is available. When tree removal permits are approved, replacement planting may be required as a condition. Replacement trees must meet minimum caliper standards and be from approved species lists. Development projects must meet minimum landscaping tree counts per the UDO. Street tree replacement is managed by the city's forestry division. Native and climate-adapted species are preferred for replacements.
Failure to replace required trees: code violation and additional fines. Non-compliant replacement: correction required.
