Take Care Of Your Trees Or You Could Pay
Per a recent article in the Denver Post, property owners in Denver who fail to care for trees located in the public right-of-way in front of their homes could face fines ranging from $150 to $999. The public right-of-way is the strip of land between the sidewalk and the curb, sometimes called the “tree lawn.” The goal of the city is to keep trees in the community through proper maintenance. Sometimes, because this right-of-way is dedicated to the city, an association may not have much control over the maintenance of the area. This ordinance will give associations one more avenue, through city enforcement, to ensure their communities are well maintained and preserved.
