Tree Regulations: Private Trees vs. Street Trees

Regulations for privately owned trees and street trees are different. You can find the tree regulations in Chapter 17.58 of the McMinnville Zoning Ordinance.

How to identify Street Trees:

• Trees that are fully or partially within the right-of-way (the area between your property line and the street) are considered street trees and are regulated by the City.
• New developments usually have a curb, gutter, planter strip, and sidewalk between the street and your property line, but this can vary.
• It's your responsibility to know your property lines.
