Per Section 14.12.070 of the Placentia Municipal Code. Only trees found that are found to be dead, diseased, irreparably injured, hazardous, or in a condition that presents legitimate concerns or conditions may be the subject of a Tree Removal Request.

If the appeal is granted by the Commission, the removal of the tree and stump will be at the property owners cost and expense.

Funds remitted to the City will be deposited in the City's Tree Replacement and Planting Fund for that purpose.
