I'm looking for feedback on how your jurisdiction handles standing trees on private property.  Does your ordinance provide for code enforcement to issue violations or do you view it as a civil matter?

Thank you.

Civil matter. Advise the concerned/aggrieved party to mail certified notice to owner of property where tree in question is located. Usually this type of official communication will prompt voluntary action by the owner of the tree in question.

Thank you.

need more infor as to you question

 

Meaning "dead" standing trees.  We get complaints all the time about dead trees on private property.  Seems like most jurisdictions handle it as a civil matter.

Thank you.
