Anne Arundel County FCA requires afforestation/reforestation at ratios from 1:1 (1.5-inch caliper) to 3:1 for specimen trees. Fee-in-lieu paid to County Forest Conservation Fund.
Anne Arundel County Forest Conservation Act implementation (Article 17) requires replacement when trees are removed from regulated parcels. Standard afforestation/reforestation ratios: 1:1 for mitigation of protected forest loss (1.5-inch caliper minimum). Specimen tree replacement: 3:1 or higher. Replacement species from approved native list (oak, maple, tulip poplar preferred; avoid invasive Norway maple and Bradford pear). Maintenance bond held 2 years to ensure establishment. If on-site replacement infeasible, fee-in-lieu paid to County Forest Conservation Fund for off-site afforestation. Critical Area replacement may require higher ratios.
Failure to replace: $500-$2,500 plus required planting. Fee-in-lieu non-payment: lien on property.
