County Resource Protection
reviews and issues tree protection permits for the regulation of
tree removal during development and construction activities.
Resource Protection provides review and
protection of grand trees and also provides code compliance and
code enforcement services.
Grand Trees
Trees produce oxygen, provide wildlife habitat
and play many important ecological roles. Certain trees also
provide psychological benefits in response to their impressive
size and great character. Such trees have been determined by
Sarasota County to be “grand” in nature.
Grand Trees are an especially significant
component of Sarasota County’s urban forest and have a unique
and intrinsic value to the general public because of their
character, age, size and ecological importance.

"Grand Tree,"
