Orlando accepts free street-tree requests June 1–September 30 each year. Submission is not the last action: approved applicants must reply to the City’s October email to confirm their interest. Application instructions
Put the response step on the calendar
| Stage | Published process | Applicant’s tracking question |
|---|---|---|
| June 1–September 30 | Requests accepted | Did I submit one application for the property? |
| October | Status contact and confirmation | Did I reply to the approval email? |
| Site review | City checks location and species | Did the recommendation change? |
| Winter | Planting, generally December–February | What placement and care instructions were confirmed? |
This calendar organizes the City’s stated stages; it does not guarantee a planting date or a preferred species.
Check the program and property first
The City requires the requester to own a home within city limits. An Orlando postal address can also belong to unincorporated Orange County or another municipality.
The broader One Person, One Tree page distinguishes a private-yard request from the street-tree program. Choose the right route before applying. Program overview
Submit only one application per property. Site inspection may change the species or location; underground utilities can affect final placement. City requirements
For status, availability or care questions, contact 407-246-2564 or streettreeprogram@orlando.gov. Keep the property address and application correspondence handy. Do not treat an application receipt as approval.
