What You Need to Know About Removing Trees
Before making plans for removing one or more trees, it's extremely important to first determine whether those trees are located on your property or in the common area. This will determine your next steps. You can find instructions on how to determine your property lines here
If the Tree Is Located on Your Property
Before removing trees located on your property, please submit a completed Exterior Change Form to the Fox Wander West HOA. The HOA will review your application and respond within 30 days. If any trees pose a clear danger to your property, please note this in your correspondence and we will work to expedite the process. Once your application is approved, you may remove the trees at your own cost.
