Tree removal permits are required for the cutting down, bulldozing, removal or relocation of any tree in Miami-Dade County, except for trees that are located within unincorporated Miami Dade County and are on the prohibited species list. Some municipalities have their own tree ordinances and may require a permit for the removal of prohibited species. Permits are also required for any work in any designated Natural Forest Community (i.e. pinelands, hammocks). DERM may require the property owner to modify a site plan to preserve tree and forest resources. A tree is defined as any woody or fibrous perennial plant having a minimum trunk dbh* of three inches or greater or with an Over All Height (OAH) of twelve or more feet. * DBH (Diameter at Breast Height): Trunk diameter measured at 4 1/2 feet above ground.
