Trees located between the curb and sidewalk, or typically within 10 feet of the curb are considered "city-owned trees". These are owned and managed by the Forestry Division. 

When to Obtain a Permit?

Residents that want to plant, remove, prune, or treat trees in this tree lawn area must first obtain a Tree Permit to do so or by calling the Citizens' Service Bureau at 314-622-4800 and request to receive a tree permit. 

Without a permit, you may be subject to fines or fees.
