Rules in Florida
Florida: no statewide tree-work license turned up in our research, so proof of liability insurance and workers’ compensation is the thing to ask for.
Florida: with an ISA-certified arborist’s or licensed landscape architect’s written finding of unacceptable risk, a city or county may not require a permit to remove a tree at a single-family home (section 163.045). Permits
