Many property owners have questions about whose responsibility it is to maintain trees on city property, their or their neighbors’ property. Many of these frequently asked questions [PDF] answer many of these concerns.
Street trees
Much of Carmel’s beauty is derived from street trees. Carmel has been recognized as a Tree City USA for many years because we are dedicate to preserving and increasing the number of tress in our community. A big part of this initiative has been our street tree program. Please see the links below for information on the urban forestry committee and our street tree program.
