Frequently Asked Tree-Related Questions

  • If a tree is on neighboring private property and does not have the potential to impact the public-at-large (such as the public right-of-way), this is a civil matter. Residents should discuss the issue with their neighbor or, if they suspect a code violation, contact the Department of Code Compliance at 703-324-1300, TTY 711. Fairfax County does not maintain, inspect, or provide guidance on trees located on private property unless they impact the public-at-large. Forest Conservation recommends residents hire an ISA Certified Arborist for tree concerns on private property. A list of Certified Arborists can be found at goodtreecare.com.
