Who is responsible for a fallen tree?

Category: Trees Issues

The city is responsible for the fallen tree only if the city owns the property. If the property is privately owned, then it is the owner’s responsibility. If the tree has fallen into a road way, for public safety reasons the Public Works Department will cut up the tree and stack it in the owner's property.
