Yes, the public works department will evaluate the health of trees upon request.  However, trees will only be removed if they are deemed to be blocking drainage, unhealthy, or pose a significant threat to property. 

No, requesting tree removal solely due to the fear of an upcoming storm is not a valid reason for removal. Trees in public drainage easements or right of ways will only be removed if they are deemed to be blocking drainage, unhealthy, or pose a significant threat to property. 

Yes, improper care of a drainage easement can cause damage to properties.  A drainage easement may have a storm water line buried beneath it or it may be the intended pathway for surface water to flow. Some drainage easements have streams running through them all the time and some only have water after a rain. Some drainage easements are also intended to detain water after a rain to avoid flooding of other areas.

An easement gives an entity a right to cross or otherwise use someone else’s land for a specific purpose.  The most common types of easements found in real estate are those that grant road or utility access. There are many types of easements including Drainage Easements, Conservation Easements and Utility Easements (telephone, electric, cable, gas, water, storm sewer, etc.)  The Utility Easement may be underground or overhead.  Once created, the location of the easement cannot be changed without agreement. 

For county roads with storm drains please submit a maintenance request at our Clay Connected app.

Please contact your neighbor first.  Often citizens are unaware of the easements on their property or may be renters who have never seen the survey of the lot.  Most citizens do not intentionally obstruct easements or intend to cause excess water to stand in their neighbor’s yard.  If this does not resolve the issue you will need to contact your HOA (Homeowner’s Association).  If there is no HOA, you will need to contact the County’s Code Enforcement Division through our Clay Connected app. 

 No, the County only maintains and repairs the public stormwater lines that are located underground and drainage easements that are located on public property.
