TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT, THE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM APPLICATION MUST BE APPROVED BEFORE WORK BEGINS

Street trees provide many environmental, economic and social benefits to our community. Accomplishing tree maintenance tasks is necessary to having healthy, structurally sound, and well-maintained trees. The City has set up this assistance program to help with the care and maintenance of the public trees. A permit is required to prune, remove or plant trees in the public right-of-ways.

REQUIREMENTS:

In order to be eligible for reimbursement, all of the following conditions must be met:

• The property must be single-family residential and within the city limits of Coeur d’Alene
• Only trees located in the public city right-of-ways will be eligible for reimbursement (right-of-ways widths may vary)
• A current city-licensed tree service must do all of the work. The City will reimburse property owner after Final inspection and acceptance.
• Trees can only be removed with prior City approval, and the replacement tree(s) must be provided by the abutting property owner. Not all removal requests are approved.

Reimbursement is made on a first-come, first-serve basis from available funds. If funds are not available, a waiting list will be set up until additional funds become available.

The City will reimburse 50%, up to $200, per tree for pruning, and 50%, up to $400, for tree removal. A maximum reimbursement of $600 is available per parcel within a 36-month time period.
