    If you live in an existing single-family home and want one tree removed, the county native vegetation permit usually isn't the issue. Your city (West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Jupiter, Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens and others each have codes), your HOA and any recorded conservation easement are what to check. Gated communities across the county often require architectural review approval before tree work.

  2. 2

    What the county regulates

    Since 1987, Palm Beach County's Environmental Resources Management department (ERM) has regulated native vegetation through the Unified Land Development Code, Article 14.C, Vegetation Preservation and Protection, and Article 14.D, which requires removing prohibited invasive non-native vegetation. The goals are limiting unnecessary removal of native vegetation, encouraging natives in landscapes and eradicating invasives.

  3. 3

    Invasive trees you're encouraged to remove

    Article 14.D targets prohibited invasive non-native plants. Species commonly targeted in South Florida include Brazilian pepper, melaleuca and Australian pine (casuarina), which is also notoriously weak in hurricanes.
