Tree Removal Permit
In order to obtain a Tree Removal Permit, you must first fill out and submit a Tree Removal Permit Application to the Planning Department. A member of the Planning staff will review the application, conduct a field inspection of the tree(s) requested to be removed, and either approve or deny the tree removal request based on the City of Ocala's Tree Preservation Code. This usually take 3 working days, depending upon staff's workload. Once the Tree Removal Permit Application has been either approved or denied, the applicant will be contacted. If the application is approved, a licensed tree removal contractor will be able to pull the Tree Removal Permit in the City of Ocala Building Department. Tree Removal Permit Applications are obtained from the Planning Department.
