The City of Owen Sound has launched a new online form that will allow residents to report their concerns about trees located on City property in a more streamlined fashion.

Residents will be able to notify the City of trees that show signs of:
Low branches;
Cracks;
Fallen limbs;
General decline in tree health;
Pest infestation or tree disease; and
Other tree health concerns or unexpected changes in the tree.

To report a fallen tree or large limb causing an immediate hazard, please call 519-376-3203 during business hours or if after hours, please call 519-376-4274.

Please note that the City of Owen Sound is responsible for trees on City property, including the boulevard. If you have concerns about a tree on private property, contact a qualified arborist for an assessment.

The online form can be accessed through the City’s website.

Once submitted, the resident will receive an email with their concern and can expect City staff to be in contact with them within 15 business days.
