TREES ON YOUR PROPERTY
County ordinance states that there should be a minimum 6-foot clearance for tree limbs above public walkways.
Proper trimming of overhanging limbs which obstruct walkway clearance is the responsibility of individual homeowner.
Fairfax County is authorized to trim trees if found in violation of this guideline and they will bill homeowners for the trimming. Violations are to be reported to VDOT or county authorities.
If a tree is on your Prosperity House property, you can cut it down without permission from Fairfax County or the HOA Board.
