Chapter 13, the tree and landscape ordinance were approved by Tampa City Council in April, 2001. The ordinance protects trees 5" or more measured 4' 6" from the ground. A permit (cost $33) is required for removal of this size tree. Grand Trees, also protected, may be removed if approved by the Urban Forestry Coordinator; the permit cost for removal of Grand Trees is $500. A permit (cost $33) is also required to prune a Grand Tree. Trees not protected and not requiring a permit for removal or pruning under this ordinance include Cherry Laurel, China Berry, Ear Tree, Australian pine, Punk Trees, Male Mulberry, Citrus Trees, Brazilian Pepper, Queen Palms, Monkey Puzzle and Eucalyptus. Questions about the tree and landscape ordinance can be directed to David Reilly (Parks Department) at 813.931.2648.
If you have a police emergency or see a crime in progress, CALL 911. In the event of a NON-EMERGENCY situation, your first call should be made to the Police non-emergency number: 231-6130. If, for some reason, your call is not answered, call the Firehouse Cops (These numbers are listed on the "Community Contacts" page of this web site.) If you don't get a response from the Firehouse Cops either, call the Firehouse main number 276-3595 to leave a message to have one of the Firehouse Cops call you back. The Firehouse main number is answered between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. We have been told that the Firehouse Cop program's main purpose is to help residents deal with ongoing trouble situations in the neighborhood.
