Almost certainly yes – San Bruno runs the strictest thresholds on the Peninsula (Municipal Code Chapter 8.25):

  • Native bay, buckeye, oak, redwood, and pine: heritage trees at just 6 inches in trunk diameter
  • Every other species: heritage at 10 inches
  • Replacements required: two 15 gallon trees or one 24 inch box, with a refundable deposit or in-lieu fee

In practice, nearly every established tree in town is regulated. The difference between a smooth project and a code problem is doing the paperwork first – which is our daily work: assessment, permit application, replacement plan, then the tree work itself.
