When a tree removal permit is issued under Ch. 89, replacement is required at a 1:1 tree-inch ratio. Large/medium canopy trees must be planted at minimum 2.5 inch caliper; small trees at 1.5 inch caliper. Cash mitigation is $175 per tree-inch when on-site replacement is infeasible.
Replacement species must come from the City's Master Tree List (Florida Friendly natives preferred). The mitigation fund supports City reforestation projects and street-tree plantings. Heritage and Venetian Trees are replaced at the same 1:1 ratio; failure to install survivors at 1-year warranty triggers additional replacement obligations.
Failure to install or maintain required replacement trees is a Code violation under Sec. 1-14 with fines up to $500 per missing inch plus the cash mitigation amount.
