Provo §12.16.070 requires 2:1 replacement for permitted street tree removals. Orem §13-14-5 requires 1:1 minimum. Replacement must use approved drought-tolerant species due to Wasatch Front drought conditions.
Provo Municipal Code §12.16.070 mandates 2:1 replacement when a healthy street tree or park tree is removed with permit. Replacement trees must be 2-inch caliper minimum, selected from the Provo Approved Species List emphasizing drought-tolerant natives (Utah juniper, Gambel oak, bigtooth maple). Orem Municipal Code §13-14-5 requires 1:1 replacement at 1.5-inch caliper minimum. Heritage trees removed for safety require 3:1 replacement plus cash contribution to the Tree Fund based on appraised value. Pleasant Grove and American Fork have similar standards. Utah County does not mandate replacement in unincorporated areas. Replanting must occur within one planting season (spring or fall); maintenance period is 2 years with 80% survival requirement. If site cannot accommodate replacement, fee-in-lieu to city tree fund at $200 to $500 per tree. Water conservation per Utah Division of Water Resources drought guidelines limits irrigation, favoring xeriscape species.
Failure to replant (Provo §12.16.070): $250 to $1,000 per tree plus mandatory replanting. Fee-in-lieu non-payment: lien on property per Utah Code §10-11-4. Use of non-approved species: replanting required at owner expense.
