Understanding Coral Gables Tree Ordinances
Coral Gables has some of the strictest tree protection regulations in Miami-Dade County. The city’s tree ordinance (Chapter 82, Article V of the City Code) protects all trees with a trunk diameter of 18 inches or more at breast height (designated specimen trees), with additional protections for native species. Key requirements include:
- A tree removal permit is required before removing any protected tree
- Replacement tree planting (mitigation) is typically required for removals
- Trimming permits may be required for certain protected heritage trees
- The city’s Urban Forestry Division must approve all removal applications
- Fines for unauthorized removal can reach $10,000 per tree or more
- Protected tree species include live oak, gumbo limbo, mahogany, and all native trees

We prepare the required documentation, interface with the Urban Forestry Division, and ensure your project is fully compliant from start to finish. Our experience with Coral Gables regulations means your permit application is complete and accurate the first time–avoiding costly delays.
