Land Clearing in Jacksonville
840 square miles — from urban infill lots to rural acreage on the Westside and Northside.
Jacksonville's massive footprint means land clearing demand spans the full spectrum. Downtown and Southside infill lots may be quarter-acre parcels choked with Brazilian pepper and overgrown palmettos. Westside and Northside properties can be 10–50+ acre tracts of pine flatwoods and bottomland hardwoods that require tracked mulchers and full grading crews.
Duval County's tree protection ordinance protects oaks, magnolias, and other hardwoods over 4-inch caliper. Removal of protected trees requires a permit and often a mitigation plan (replanting or payment into the city's tree trust fund). Underbrush, invasive species (Brazilian pepper, Chinese tallow, cogongrass), and dead trees are generally exempt.
The St. Johns River and its tributaries create wetland buffers throughout the city. Properties adjacent to wetlands or within flood zones may require environmental permits from the St. Johns River Water Management District before clearing can begin. We flag these during the site assessment.
Permitting
Tree permits through COJ for protected species. Wetland buffers may require SJRWMD permits. Land-clearing permits required on parcels over 1 acre.
