Pompano Beach requires replacement trees when trees are removed with a permit. The number of replacements is based on canopy removed per Table 155.5204.E.1.b.ii. Replacement canopy at maturity must equal or exceed the canopy removed. Unauthorized removal before a permit results in doubled fees and replacement requirements. Tree trimming is not subject to replacement requirements.
Under Pompano Beach Zoning Code Section 155.5204, replacement trees are required when trees are removed. Table 155.5204.E.1.b.ii determines the number of replacement trees based on the size of canopy impacted. Replacement trees at maturity must provide canopy equal to or greater than what was removed. For trees removed without authorization (before obtaining a Tree Permit), the application fee is doubled and the replacement table from Section E.1.b.ii applies. Tree species should be selected from approved Florida-friendly species appropriate for the area. The city's Urban Forestry program provides guidance on tree species selection and planting standards.
Failure to plant required replacements is a permit violation. Additional penalties for unauthorized removal.
