MidPoint

If a tree falls in Florida, who is responsible? Could shifting liability for falling trees impact the region’s urban canopy? MidPoint looks at the proposed Fallen Tree Act (HB 599/SB 724) which would make the owner always liable for its falling trees or limbs, even if they were not visibly prone to fall. This could negatively impact our urban tree canopy if tree owners are disincentivized to plant or retain trees on their properties.
