Frequently Asked Questions: Tree Care in Rocklin, CA

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Rocklin?
In the City of Rocklin, permits are specifically required for Native Oak trees that are 6 inches or larger in diameter (measured at 4.5 feet above the ground).
 
  • Non-Oak Trees: Generally, you do not need a permit to remove non-native or non-oak species unless they were planted as a specific condition of your property's original development approval.
 
  • Small Oaks: Oaks under 6 inches in diameter do not require a permit.

Is there a fee for the tree removal permit?
The City of Rocklin currently does not charge a fee to issue an Oak Tree Removal Permit for residential properties. However, if you are removing a healthy oak, the city may require mitigation.

What is "Oak Tree Mitigation"?
If the city approves the removal of a healthy oak, you must "mitigate" the loss of the canopy. You typically have two options:
 
  • Replanting: Planting new native oaks on your property (usually a 2:1 ratio for standard oaks and a 5:1 ratio for Heritage Oaks).
 
  • In-Lieu Fee: Paying a fee into the Rocklin Oak Tree Preservation Fund, which the city uses to plant trees elsewhere. Note: Mitigation is usually waived if a certified arborist proves the tree is dead, dying, or hazardous.

What is considered a "Heritage Tree" in Rocklin?
A Heritage Tree is any native oak with a trunk diameter of 24 inches or larger. These trees are highly valued by the city and have much stricter removal and mitigation requirements.

When is the best time to prune my oaks?
To prevent the spread of diseases like Oak Wilt, it is best to prune native oaks during the dormant season (late fall and winter). We strongly recommend avoiding major pruning during the spring and summer months when pests are most active.

How do I create "Defensible Space" for fire safety?
Rocklin residents, especially those near open space or canyons, should follow California's 3-zone defensible space guidelines:
 
  • Zone 0 (0-5 feet): The "Ember Resistant Zone." Remove all flammable vegetation and mulch near the foundation.
 
  • Zone 1 (5-30 feet): The "Lean, Clean, and Green Zone." Remove all dead grass, weeds, and fallen leaves. Trim branches to keep a 10-foot space between tree canopies.
 
  • Zone 2 (30-100 feet): The "Reduced Fuel Zone." Mow annual grass to 4 inches and create vertical space so fire cannot "ladder" from the ground into the tree canopy.

Does Economy Tree Service Inc handle the permit process?
Yes. We frequently work with the Rocklin Planning Department. We can help you measure your trees, determine if a permit is needed, and provide the Arborist Report often required for the application.
