The officer will conduct a site visit to measure and take pictures of the tree to be removed as well as assess if any replacement trees will be required. When the initial inspection has been completed by Code Enforcement, the permit application will be placed in line for processing in the order in while it was received. Upon completion of the permit by Town Staff, the applicant will be notified when the permit is ready or if any additional information will be needed.
Inspections
Once the tree has been removed, the applicant will contact our inspection line at 352-751-1515 to request a final inspection. Our Code Enforcement Officer will verify that the tree has been removed, the stump has been ground (at or below grade) and any required replacement tree have been planted. If all requirements have been met, the permit will be closed.
