Aurora Tree Removal and Replacement Policy

The Aurora tree removal and replacement policy mandates that only certain city officers or authorized personnel may perform work on trees in public streets or spaces. Unauthorized removal or damage to city-owned trees or shrubs makes the responsible party liable for their appraised value, with restitution funds deposited into the forestry restitution fund.
