Tree Code Updates Meeting

Next date: Thursday, October 08, 2026 | 05:30 PM to 07:00 PM

The city of Clearwater is preparing an amendment to the city of Clearwater's tree code to clarify requirements, improve usability, and update tree removal permit fees. On May 4, 2026, the Clearwater City Council held a work session to review recent amendments to the Pinellas County tree code, the city’s adopted tree code, and potential changes to the city’s tree code. The tree code amendment is tentatively scheduled for adoption in February of 2027.

Community meetings will be held for residents to attend and learn more about the upcoming changes to the tree code.
