Kissimmee groups tree-removal work within its Site Development and Tree Removal permit family. A second route can matter when the tree or work area reaches a street, sidewalk, or grassy roadside: the City’s right-of-way process.

Mark location before selecting a form

Create a site sketch with the property line, tree, trunk, canopy, planned equipment path, debris staging area, curb, sidewalk, and street. Then ask:

  • Is the tree on private land, public land, or near an uncertain boundary?
  • Will equipment, cutting, traffic control, staging, or restoration occupy public space?
  • Will roots, pavement, curb, sidewalk, or utilities be disturbed?

Use the permit-types page for the site-development/tree filing. If any public-space question is yes or uncertain, check the right-of-way route and obtain a written jurisdiction answer. One approval should not be treated as automatically satisfying the other.

Keep the two records cross-referenced

For each route, retain the submitted plan, application receipt, reviewers, correction messages, fees, permit number, conditions, inspections, and closeout. Put the other permit number on the cover sheet. If a route is not required, preserve the City’s written determination.

This method prevents a privately located tree from obscuring public-space impacts created by equipment and prevents a right-of-way permit from being mistaken for approval to remove the tree itself.
