Miami, FL Tree Protection Bond
Overview
Get bonded and move your Miami construction or development project forward with the City of Miami Tree Protection Bond in hand. Miami enforces strict urban tree canopy protections, and this bond is your financial commitment to the city that any trees on your project site will be preserved, relocated, or replaced according to approved plans. Without it, your permit won't move. With it, you're cleared to break ground.
Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors, developers, and property owners pulling permits for construction, demolition, grading, or land-clearing work in Miami that affects protected trees need this bond. If your project site has trees designated for preservation or replacement under the city's urban forestry requirements, the City of Miami will require this bond before issuing your permit. It applies to both residential and commercial projects where tree impacts have been identified during the permitting review.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that you — the principal — will comply with all tree protection, preservation, and replacement conditions attached to your Miami permit. The City of Miami is the obligee and can draw on the bond if protected trees are damaged, removed without authorization, or not replaced as required. It exists to protect Miami's urban tree canopy by giving the city a financial remedy if a contractor or developer fails to follow through on their tree commitments.
When is it Required?
Permit application is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. When the City of Miami reviews your building, demolition, or land-clearing permit and identifies trees on the site subject to protection requirements, the bond must be posted before the permit is issued. You'll typically receive notice during the plan review process specifying that a Tree Protection Bond is required as a condition of permit approval.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a City of Miami requirement and applies exclusively to projects within Miami's municipal boundaries. It is not a state of Florida requirement, and it does not satisfy tree protection obligations in Miami-Dade County or any neighboring municipality. Make sure your project address falls within the City of Miami jurisdiction before purchasing.
