F:\BUILDING DEPARTMENT\<strong>Permit</strong> Forms\<strong>Tree</strong> <strong>Permit</strong> 6-4-2012.docx
Purpose<br />
We all have a role in protecting, maintaining and replenishing trees in our community. <strong>Tree</strong>s are<br />
an important natural public resource that enhances the quality <strong>of</strong> life. The <strong>Village</strong> goal is to<br />
sustain the ecological, physical, historical and aesthetic natural environment by regulating the<br />
disposition <strong>of</strong> trees on private construction sites. We thank you for your consideration and for<br />
building a better <strong>Palos</strong> <strong>Park</strong>.<br />
Requirements<br />
Property owners and contractors planning a construction project that will impact or remove<br />
existing trees need to follow <strong>Village</strong> Code Section 1460.02. Codes and applications are<br />
available on the <strong>Village</strong> website www.palospark.org and at the Kaptur Center at 8999 West<br />
123 rd Street, <strong>Palos</strong> <strong>Park</strong>, <strong>Illinois</strong> 60464.<br />
You may contact the Building Department for guidance. We will assist by providing information,<br />
answering questions, reviewing plans, advising, inspecting for compliance, and requesting<br />
corrections <strong>of</strong> violations.<br />
The Building Department may use a Certified Arborist to review plans and inspect (additional<br />
costs will apply) if needed.<br />
<strong>Application</strong> Process<br />
1. SURVEY TREES – Locate existing trees on plan (survey) by size, species and health. For<br />
sites over 2 acres or over 10 trees removed, an arborist must do the tree survey and plan.<br />
2. DRAW PLAN – On survey show proposed construction, tree protections, and tree<br />
replacements.<br />
3. SUBMIT COMPLETED APPLICATION – Complete <strong>Application</strong> form and submit with<br />
drawings above to the Building Department for review.<br />
4. PAY FEES – After plan has been reviewed and approved, <strong>Permit</strong> Fees are $60 per acre,<br />
with Inspections at $60 each and Certified Arborist Fee (if used).<br />
There will be additional charges if there are replacement trees required that cannot fit on site.<br />
5. INSTALL FENCE – Per approved plan and specific directions from Arborist and/or Building<br />
Official before construction begins, after fence is installed – must call for inspection.
