Anytime construction or development is to be undertaken, the City of Miami requires a tree protection bond equal to the value of the specimen trees that remain or are relocated, except for properties with a homestead exemption under F.S. 196.075. The bond remains in effect for one year after the final certificate of occupancy is issued. Sec. 17-2 defines it as a guarantee that specific trees are protected and not harmed, with the loss reimbursed if they are, and gives tree permits to the City's department of planning and zoning.
