Most Will County municipalities require 1:1 to 3:1 replacement for permitted tree removals. Replacement species must be native prairie or oak-hickory varieties; fee-in-lieu payments go to municipal tree-planting funds. EAB ash replacements are exempt.
Municipal tree-replacement standards in Will County: Bolingbrook §26-79 requires 1:1 replacement for removed parkway trees and 2:1 for protected private trees, with 2.5-inch caliper minimum. Plainfield §9-43 requires 2:1 for standard removals and 3:1 for legacy trees. Romeoville §10-7 mandates 1:1 with fee-in-lieu at $350 per tree to the Village Tree Fund. Frankfort §155.133 requires 3:1 replacement for significant-tree removals. Lockport §9-155 requires 1:1 parkway replacement. Joliet Public Works manages parkway replacement at 1:1 with species chosen from the Approved Street Tree List (native oak, hackberry, linden, Kentucky coffeetree, London planetree). Non-preferred species like Bradford pear, silver maple, and ash are prohibited. Replacement during the oak-wilt avoidance window requires plant sourcing from EAB-quarantine-compliant nurseries under Illinois Dept. of Agriculture standards.
Failure to replace: $250 to $1,000 per tree plus required planting at owner expense. Unpaid fee-in-lieu: lien on property under 65 ILCS 5/11-20-16.
