Tree Removal Information

Updated guidelines coming soon. Regardless of species or tree health, all tree removals must be approved by the ARC. Florida statutes do not absolve HOA members of violating tree removal covenants or limit the ARC’s authority to require tree replacements. The City of Altamonte Springs also requires a permit for tree removals. In the case of diseased or dangerous trees, city permits are not required but you must have ARC approval and a certified arborist’s documentation. Not all tree trimmers are certified arborists so if you are not using an arborist then simply submit a permit to the city. It’s free and only takes a day or two for the city arborist to visit your lot. Do not fall prey to predatory tree trimmers, it could cost you fines and tree replacement costs. 

The city requires an approved ARC form before an arbor permit is approved. Per city ordinance and Forest Edge Covenants, each lot must have a minimum of 2 large canopy tree species. Even during a permit moratorium due to storm damage, an ARC form is still required to remove a tree.
