Significant Tree Maintenance Rebate Program

How it works

The City of Burlington offers the Significant Tree Maintenance Rebate Program to support residents caring for established trees on private property. The page says Council approved the program and funded it through the Tree Establishment & Enhancement Reserve Fund.

What the money covers

The page is about tree maintenance for significant trees on private property. It directs applicants to talk with a qualified tree professional and confirm the work is on the list of covered tree work.

Amounts and matching

The page states the program was funded at $50,000. It does not give a per-home rebate amount on the page we reviewed.

How to apply

The page explains a step-by-step process: talk with a qualified tree professional, check whether the needed work is covered, and then apply.

Timing and deadlines

Applications are currently closed. The page says successful applicants received an email with instructions and should use that approval email for deadlines to submit the payment request.
