Report a Problem with a City Tree

The City of St. Louis Forestry Division appreciates calls to let us know about any problems with City-Owned trees, such as downed limbs, illness or other issues.

City-owned trees are located between the curb and sidewalk, or typically within 10 feet of the curb, and are managed by the Forestry Division. 

The Forestry Division may already be aware of the problem and working to solve it, but sometimes your call is needed to notify us about a City tree problem. 

Prepare to provide as much information as possible. Include:

• Address or intersection
• Describe conditions
• Photos if possible

1. Start with the 'Begin Online' button below and select the service that best describes the situation.
2. Complete the steps and submit the request.

Residents that want to plant, remove, prune, or treat trees in this tree lawn area must first obtain a Tree Permit to do so. Without a permit, you may be subject to fines or fees.
