Ocoee requires a City permit for tree removal even when the applicant describes the tree as dead. Build the file around a numbered location plan, matching photographs, visible site markings, the City inspection or review, and the written result.
Give every tree one identifier
The City’s tree requirements ask applicants to show the lot, locate trees, identify requested removals, provide reasons and photographs, and visibly mark trees. Use the same identifier—such as T1, T2, T3—on the plan, photo names, application, and City correspondence.
| Tree ID | Plan location | Photo files | Applicant reason | Site marking | City result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | |||||
| T2 |
An applicant reason is not a diagnosis. Keep professional material in its original form and attribute it.
Track the permit states
Use the current permitting page to confirm the route. Preserve the submitted package, receipt, completeness questions, inspection or site review, correction requests, written approval or denial, issued permit, conditions, validity, and final record.
The City page also addresses remaining-tree requirements. Record the City’s parcel-specific determination; do not calculate required trees from a generic count.
Freeze the approved map
After approval, archive the plan and tree list that the City accepted. If another tree is added or the scope changes, obtain a revised decision before work. A permit tied to T1 cannot be assumed to authorize T2.
