Heritage trees in Foley

Foley's tree permit is focused on heritage trees, the largest trees. If you're not sure whether a tree counts, ask the Environmental Department. According to the City of Foley Environmental Department page (last verified 2026-10-20):

• A Heritage Tree Removal Permit is for removing heritage trees of 30 inches or more in diameter at breast height.
• The city's FAQ describes a heritage tree as any tree over 30 inches in diameter at breast height (its permit listing says 30 inches or greater). Pecan trees, palm trees and invasive exotic trees are excluded.
• The application fee is $25, and the permit requires two in-kind replacement plantings.
• Permits are applied for through the city's Citizenserve portal.
• The city says its Environmental Department will typically process a completed permit application within three business days, depending on how many applications are ahead of yours.

If you think you have a very large tree, check with the Environmental Department at 251-923-4267 before cutting. Official source: the city's Environmental Department page. Rules vary by city, change over time, and this page is not legal advice. Check with the city before any work starts.
