What happened

Who to call

The useful part. Call the right desk before you call a saw.

Injury, fire, or wires down

  1. Call 911 first

    If anyone is hurt, there is a fire, or lines are down.

    911
  2. Then TECO if utility lines are involved

    City of Tampa tells residents to notify TECO when a tree or branch involves utility lines.

City of Tampa tree permits

Private-yard work still has city rules. These points are copied from tampa.gov. We did not invent an area code where the city did not print one.

  • Removal, 5 inches DBH and up

    All removals of trees 5” DBH or above (except invasive species) need a permit. Apply via Accela.

  • Grand Trees, 32 inches DBH and up

    Special process. If the tree is not hazardous, removal may need public notice and a Variance Review Board, City Council, or other public decision.

  • Pruning

    23” DBH and under: no permit. 24” DBH and above: permit required.

After-hours work costs more

Emergency and night work usually costs more than a scheduled weekday job. Atlanta operator EastLake publishes a typical 25–50% after-hours/weekend premium. That is their Atlanta figure — we are not inventing a Tampa surcharge.

Insurance

Dwelling coverage often pays when the tree hit a structure. Debris-only limits are often low. Photograph the scene, call your insurer, and get a written estimate before anyone starts a full takedown.

This is practical directory guidance, not legal or insurance advice. Your policy controls.

Storm-chaser warning

After a named storm, out-of-town trucks knock on doors. Before you hand anyone a deposit:

  • Ask for a license
  • Ask for general liability and workers’ comp
  • Get a written estimate
  • Do not pay a large cash deposit at 2am
