A Peoria County homeowner who removes a private-yard tree owes no replacement. Replacement and preservation obligations ride on land development and on the public parkway and boulevard trees, which the City of Peoria replants itself through its Forestry Division.
Remove a tree from your own established lot and no city or county rule makes you plant a new one. Replacement duties instead attach to two places. First, land development: subdivision and commercial site plans must meet landscaping standards and any tree-preservation conditions set at approval. Second, the public right-of-way: Peoria's Forestry Division plants, prunes, and replaces the parkway and boulevard trees the city owns, removing 150 to 200 a year, and any planting on public property needs a City Arborist permit so the city controls species and spacing.
No replacement duty, and no penalty, for a homeowner removing a private-yard tree. A developer who fails to install or maintain required landscaping breaches a condition of approval, risking correction, withheld occupancy, or forfeited bond.
