Tree Mitigation & Tree Permits in DeLand, FL
DeLand takes its tree canopy seriously. The City’s forestry page publishes tree-permit applications, fee schedules, tree worksheets, an approved replacement-species list and tree-protection barricade details. Together, those documents tell you what a removal will involve before you schedule it.
Tree permits and mitigation in DeLand
In DeLand, removing a regulated tree usually needs a City tree permit, and the City’s tree worksheet is used to work out mitigation: replacement trees from the approved list or another form of compensation. Protecting retained trees with barricades is part of the process on many projects.
Use the tree worksheet early
The worksheet is where removals and retained trees are tallied. Filling it out before you finalize plans shows what mitigation the removals will create, and whether keeping one more tree changes it.
Replacement species
DeLand publishes a list of acceptable replacement species. Choose replacements that suit the space at maturity, not just the requirement. A live oak planted under power lines becomes the next removal.
Protect what stays
DeLand’s barricade details show how retained trees are protected during work. Barricades keep equipment, materials and soil off the root zone. We set up our own work around them.

Common
questions.
Does every DeLand address follow City rules?
No. Parcels outside city limits fall under Volusia County. Check the parcel first.
Can an arborist letter reduce mitigation?
The City decides mitigation. A letter documents a tree’s condition, which can matter where a tree is dead, diseased or hazardous.
Do you plant replacement trees?
Ask us. Otherwise, a nursery or landscaper can plant the trees from the City’s approved list.
