Land Use & Environmental Services

An image from Cascades Park featuring a fountainThe Land Use & Environmental Services Division is responsible for site and environmental reviews that ensure compliance with the Land Development Code, Comprehensive Plan, and any other applicable environmental regulations. Typically, these reviews must be complete before a project can submit for building permits.

For a complete explanation of the different land use and environmental applications and submission guidelines, visit the links below.

Review and Submission Information

Tree Removal

Tree Removal permits are regulated by the City's tree preservation ordinance which defines protected trees according to both their species and size and defines several reasons a protected tree might be approved for removal. These reasons include if it resolves a safety hazard, prevents the disruption of public services, prevent the spread of disease or pests, be consistent with good forestry practices, assure a reasonable use of the property, and if it is needed for the construction of essential improvements. No more than 10 trees may be removed through a tree removal permit. If a development project requires an EMP and proposes tree removal, then the tree removal would be covered under that.

Stormwater Operating Permits

LUES issues the Stormwater Operating Permits and manages the program for all stormwater management facilities operating permits, inspections, and renewals within the City of Tallahassee. Operating Permits are renewed every three years and inspections are performed yearly by LUES staff to ensure compliance with the Land Development Code.
