Tree Removal

For trees blocking public alleys, streets, or sidewalks, call the City Services Dispatch at 3-1-1 when dialing from inside the city limits, or (214) 670-5111 when dialing from outside the city limits.  It is the responsibility of the property owner to remove trees that have fallen across or into creeks, drainage ways, channels, and streams on private property.  For tree removal in drainage ways owned by the City, call the City Services Dispatch at 3-1-1 when dialing from inside the city limits, or (214) 670-5111 when dialing from outside the city limits.  Once contacted, a determination of ownership will be made.  If the creek belongs to the City, you will be advised of the schedule for tree removal.  If the creek is privately owned, the owner(s) will be contacted and asked to remove the tree.  Public Works and Transportation, Floodplain Management Division, is responsible for follow-up and code violation monitoring.
