When tree removal in Dunedin drops a property below minimum tree-canopy requirements, Chapter 105 mandates one replacement for trees under 19 inches DBH and two replacements for 19+ inch DBH trees.
Dunedin's tree protection ordinance (Chapter 105) imposes mitigation when removal pushes a property below the minimum tree-canopy threshold. Owners must plant one replacement tree for each removed tree under 19 inches DBH and two replacement trees for each removed tree of 19 inches DBH or greater. Grand Trees and protected species can carry higher mitigation ratios. Replacements must meet species, size, and placement standards reviewed during the permit process. Inability to replant on-site may require contribution to a tree mitigation fund or off-site planting subject to staff approval.
Failure to plant required replacement trees can lead to code-enforcement liens, additional fines, and re-inspection requirements until compliance is verified.
