We know there are Village RULES / Deed Restrictions with regard to cutting down trees. Will getting permission be a major headache and time and should we just forego this property and look elsewhere? We easily could....
Your thoughts and experience would be greatly appreciated.
It can run from about 1000 dollars to over 4000 to have a large Live Oak tree removed.

New law from 2019 in Florida says; If a licensed Arborist says that the tree could be unsafe, the law now says it can be removed.
