When Should You Remove a Tree?
A tree may need to come down when it poses an active risk to your property or the people on it. In Jacksonville, FL, the subtropical climate means live oaks, pines, and other native species can develop structural issues that are not always visible from the ground. A professional evaluation can determine whether removal or a targeted
tree trimming program is the right path forward.
Do You Need a Permit for Tree Removal in Jacksonville, FL?
Permit requirements depend on your tree's size, species, and location. Jacksonville defines a "protected tree" as one with a diameter at breast height (DBH) of 11.5 inches or more, though smaller trees near street rights-of-way may also require approval. Under Florida's Private Property Rights Law, no city-issued permit is required when a certified arborist confirms the tree poses a danger — but you still need that arborist's written documentation before work can begin.
Robert's Tree Service Inc. includes a professional assessment with every job. Our certified staff arborist can evaluate your tree, provide required documentation, and guide you through any permit steps that apply to your property in Duval County.
Signs That Tree Removal May Be Needed
1. Significant trunk decay, hollow sections, or mushroom growth at the base.
2. Major limbs hanging over a roof, driveway, or power lines.
3. Visible root damage lifting pavement or encroaching on a foundation.
4. More than 50% of the canopy dead or severely storm-damaged.
5. A heavy, persistent lean that developed after a storm or soil shift.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need a Permit to Remove a Tree on My Property in Jacksonville?
Under Florida's Private Property Rights Law, residential property owners may not need a city-issued permit if a certified arborist confirms the tree is a danger. However, protected trees with a DBH of 11.5 inches or more, or smaller trees within 20 feet of a street right-of-way, can trigger additional requirements. A professional assessment is the safest first step.
Will My Homeowner's Insurance Cover Tree Removal in Jacksonville?
Insurance may cover removal costs when a fallen tree damages a covered structure such as your home or fence. Removal of a tree that fell without causing structural damage is typically not covered. Contact your insurance provider promptly after a storm event to clarify your coverage.
How Long Does a Tree Removal Take?
Most standard residential removals can be completed within a few hours. Larger trees or those in tight spaces near structures may take a full day. Tree size, species, proximity to utilities, and site access all affect the timeline.
Does Robert's Tree Service Handle Emergency Tree Removal?
Yes. Robert's Tree Service Inc. offers 24/7 emergency tree service for storm-damaged trees threatening structures, fallen limbs over power lines, or trees blocking access routes. The team responds quickly because Jacksonville's storm season makes delays dangerous.
What Happens to the Wood and Debris After My Tree Is Removed?
After every removal, the crew clears all debris, branches, and wood from your property. If you want to keep firewood or wood chips, that can often be arranged when you discuss the job at the time of your free estimate.
