You may get billed for tree removal on your property If the city removes a diseased or dangerous tree from your lot in April 2026, you'll receive an assessment bill for the cost.
Safer streets, but property owners pay for the work Removing hazardous trees makes neighborhoods safer from falling branches and damaged power lines, but spreads the cost across the homeowners whose trees were cut.
