Derm Tree Complaint D Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset tracks environmental complaints filed when trees—especially protected mangroves—are removed or bulldozed without proper authorization in Miami-Dade County. Each complaint is investigated by a DERM inspector and includes the location, status, and outcome, helping residents see where tree-removal violations have been reported and how they were resolved.
Why This Matters
- A neighborhood resident notices tree removal on a nearby vacant lot and wants to check if a complaint was already filed and what action DERM took.
- An environmental activist researching patterns of illegal tree removal across Miami-Dade to advocate for stronger enforcement at county commission meetings.
- A property owner appealing a tree-removal citation who needs to see similar complaint outcomes in their area to understand how violations are typically handled.
