Orland Park requires replacement plantings when regulated trees are removed, typically at a 1:1 caliper-inch ratio for healthy trees and higher ratios for significant or native species. Approved species lists guide replacement choices.
When permitted tree removal occurs, the Orland Park tree preservation code requires replacement plantings to maintain canopy. Standard residential replacements are generally 1:1 by caliper inch, with replacement trees of 2.5-3 inch caliper from the village's approved species list. Significant trees, mature native species, and trees removed for development may require 2:1 or 3:1 replacement. Replacements must occur on the same property when feasible, with off-site planting (or fee-in-lieu paid to the village tree fund) permitted only when on-site planting is impractical. Survival warranties of 1-2 years are typical, with the property owner required to replace any failed trees. Approved species emphasize Illinois natives and non-invasive ornamentals; ash and species susceptible to emerging pests are generally excluded.
Failure to install required replacements: $250-$1,000 per missing tree plus order to plant. Failure to maintain replacements through warranty period: replanting at owner cost.
