Some reminders from the Division of Community Forestry
Maintenance of public trees alongside private property in Louisville is the responsibility of the abutting property owners under the Louisville Metro Code of Ordinances.
A 2017 update to LMCO Chapter 102 requires a permit from the Division of Community Forestry within the Office of Sustainability/Develop Louisville before pruning, removing, or replacing these public trees. There is no charge for the permits, but the proposed activities must conform to policies established by the Division. Permits are not required for routine watering, mulching or the pruning of limbs (based on Division standards) narrower than four inches in diameter and less than seven feet above the ground that are obstructing pedestrian traffic.
The removal of a Public Tree must also include a replacement.
Additional information about the Division’s public tree standards and permitting process can be found on the Division’s webpage. You may also contact the Division of Community Forestry at 574-3927.

The speed and duration of flooding can vary significantly. Flooding can occur slowly as rain continues to fall for many days. This type of flooding, sometimes called a slow-onset flood, can take a week to develop and can last for months before floodwaters recede.
More danger is presented by rapid-onset floods that occur more quickly, typically developing within hours or days. Some rapid-onset floods known as flash floods occur very quickly with little or no warning, such as during periods of extremely heavy rain or when water volume is beyond system capacity.
In urban areas, flash floods can fill underpasses, viaducts, parking structures, low roads, and basements. This poses particular dangers for travelers.
Motorists should take the following precautions:
- Be aware of the likelihood of flooding in low lying areas and proceed slowly to allow time to react if a road is covered by water.
- If floodwater is blocking your route but you can turn around safely, turn around and go to a building on high ground.
- If your vehicle is trapped in rapidly moving water, stay in the vehicle. If water is rising inside the vehicle, seek refuge on the roof.
- Never drive around a barrier into flood waters
