Yea like that will not be noticed by anyone.

Technically it’s not removing the tree without approval. So where is the violation?

get a copper nail and pound it in the tree

Another sure way: Drill 5 holes at the base, hammer ( 5 ) " 6 inch " Brass nails into the holes.

You are correct, that would work. But do you really want to kill a really big Oak that is hanging over your home. Probably not the best of ideas.

The following should answer everyone's concerns about getting ARC approval for cutting down trees.

Go to the districtgov.org website, "Committees", "Architectural Committee", under "Quick Links" on left of page go to "Forms and Publications" and then "ARC Application Form". When you have the form up, scroll about half way down until you see the following:
TREE REMOVAL: Do you have documentation from the Internal Society of Arboriculture or a Florida-licensed landscape architect that the tree presents a danger to persons or property? YES NO
If you marked yes, this application is not required, but if you marked no, this application is required.
