How do I know if a tree is on my property or in the right of way?

Here are some definitions that might help:

  • City Tree: A tree planted in the right of way or on a city property that has been approved by the City Forester.
  • Right of way (R.O.W): The city-owned area of land designated for streets, sidewalks, and public use.  It includes the parkway between sidewalks and curbs.  Where sidewalks are attached to curbs, the R.O.W. extends a distance into the property.  The exact distance varies from street to street.

You can locate the property lines between the City and private property by looking up your address on the SpringsView mapping application.  

  • Use the top right search bar to type in an address or cross street.
  • Be sure to select Aerial view at the bottom left.
  • City trees are those planted in the right of way (outside of red private property lines) that have been approved by the city forester.
