Rules that apply in McGregor Corridor
Much of the McGregor corridor, especially closer to downtown, is inside Fort Myers city limits, where removing a tree generally requires a city permit. Parts farther south are unincorporated Lee County. Confirm your jurisdiction before scheduling a removal.
What tree work looks like in McGregor Corridor
McGregor Boulevard is known for its royal palms. In 1907 Thomas Edison offered to help plant royal palms along the road, and the boulevard is now lined with them for miles. The neighborhoods beside it — older riverfront and near-river streets with established lots — have big trees that have been growing for decades.
Large-canopy trees close to older homes, detached garages, pools and the river mean more rigging, more planning and sometimes a crane. Good photos from a distance make the first estimate much more useful.
Good to know
- The royal palms along McGregor Boulevard itself are public trees. This page is about the trees on your own property.
- Some neighborhoods near the corridor are historic districts. If you’re in one, check whether any additional review applies to your project.
- Riverfront lots may have mangroves at the shoreline. Mangrove trimming is regulated by the State of Florida.

You get your estimate
The provider contacts you directly and gives you an estimate. You decide whether to hire them.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree off McGregor?
If you’re inside Fort Myers city limits, a permit is generally required to remove a tree. Documentation from an ISA Certified Arborist that the tree is dangerous can exempt a single-family homeowner under Florida law. The provider should confirm before work starts.
My royal palms are very tall. Can they still be trimmed?
Yes. Tall royals are usually trimmed from a bucket truck, so mention the height and whether a truck can reach them from the driveway or street.
