Yes for heritage trees, which Half Moon Bay defines generously (Municipal Code Chapter 7.40):
- Any tree with a 12 inch trunk diameter, on public or private property
- Every street tree on Main Street and any council-designated stand
- Eucalyptus is excluded from protection
Approved removals require replacement with at least a 24 inch box tree. For genuinely hazardous trees the city allows emergency action through the proper channel – the finding has to be documented correctly. We prepare the arborist findings for both routine permits and urgent removals, and we build the replacement requirement into the estimate so nothing surprises you afterward.
