All stumps remaining from tree removal performed by Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) are recorded and registered. Stump removals are dependent on the availability of funding.

Currently, there is a backlog of stumps waiting to be removed. Property owners have two options to consider if they want the City-owned stump removed:

Request a new tree. If the stump is less than approximately 30 inches in diameter, DPR planting contractors will remove the stump during a new tree planting process.
Request a Tree Work Permit and hire a contractor to remove the stump at your own expense.

Parks will clean up all or part of a curbside tree that is damaged as a result of weather related activity or other causes.

Request the removal of an uprooted tree stump due to a weather event.

What Happens Next

The Department of Parks and Recreation will investigate and remove the tree, if necessary.

Property owners are responsible for knowing whether a tree is on their property or on City property. Homeowners should look at their title survey to check property lines before removing a tree or conducting any tree work on or around trees in their front yard.
