Tree Removal Permits in St. Johns County
St. Johns County enforces tree protection regulations, and the City of St. Augustine has additional heritage and historic district overlay protections given the city’s status as the oldest city in the United States. Planned communities in Nocatee, Julington Creek, and Ponte Vedra often layer HOA requirements on top of county and municipal ordinances. Trees above 8–10 inches DBH typically require permit review, and protected species like live oaks may have additional requirements.
Under Florida Statute 163.045, homeowners are protected from local permit requirements when a certified arborist or licensed tree trimmer provides written documentation that a tree poses a danger to a primary structure on the property. This state law prevents local governments from requiring permits, notice, or mitigation for documented hazardous trees.
Florida’s Tree Masters manages the complete documentation and permitting process for St. Johns County customers. Call (386) 320-3169 to schedule an assessment — we’ll tell you exactly what’s required before any work begins.
