Florida Foliage is the arborist reports Daytona Beach company that shows up on time, does the job right, and leaves your property clean.
Permit Reports
Volusia County and the City of Daytona Beach require permit applications for tree removal above certain size thresholds. Our permit reports document tree identification, condition, size measurements, and removal justification in the format these offices expect.
Insurance Reports
When a tree causes property damage, your insurance carrier needs documentation. We produce reports that cover tree condition before and after the event, structural defects that contributed to failure, and ISA risk ratings. These reports support your claim and defend against disputes.
HOA and Real Estate Reports
HOA boards require arborist reports before approving tree removal on association property. Real estate transactions involving large trees often need condition assessments that protect buyers from undisclosed hazards. We provide both.
Litigation Support Reports
Tree-related property damage disputes sometimes end up in court. We produce expert reports for litigation support documenting tree condition, ownership, negligence factors, and risk. These reports are produced to the standard attorneys and courts expect.

- Tree identification: species, common name, size measurements (DBH, height, canopy spread)
- Condition rating: overall health, canopy condition, structural integrity
- Defect identification: co-dominant stems, included bark, root zone issues, disease signs
- Risk assessment: ISA risk category where applicable
- Recommendations: maintenance, treatment, cabling, or removal with justification
- Credentials and signature of the ISA Certified Arborist who performed the assessment
Turnaround is typically 1 to 3 business days after the site visit. If you're on a deadline for a permit or a closing, tell us when you call and we'll work around it.
ISA Certified Arborist Reports for Daytona Beach and Volusia County Properties
An arborist report from a qualified ISA Certified Arborist carries weight with insurance companies, courts, municipalities, and buyers in real estate transactions. In Volusia County, these reports come up most often when a homeowner or business owner needs to document tree condition after storm damage, when a property sale requires disclosure of tree hazards, or when a municipality requires documentation before a protected tree removal permit can be issued. Florida Foliage employs ISA Certified Arborists who write detailed reports covering tree species identification, condition assessment, structural defects, root health, and recommended action. We know the trees common to this part of Florida: live oaks, water oaks, laurel oaks, sabal palms, slash pines, and camphor trees. Each species presents different failure patterns and health challenges, and our reports reflect that specific knowledge. We serve properties across Daytona Beach, Port Orange, Ormond Beach, Holly Hill, Palm Coast, DeLand, and Deltona, and we can typically schedule an on-site visit within a few days of contact.
When You Need a Written Arborist Report
Not every tree situation requires a formal written report, but several common scenarios do. Insurance claims involving tree damage often require an arborist letter explaining pre-existing conditions. Disputes between neighbors over tree ownership, hazard responsibility, or damage claims routinely involve arborist opinions. City permit applications for removing heritage or protected trees in Volusia County typically require a report from an ISA Certified Arborist. Home sales with large or concerning trees may trigger a buyer's request for an arborist inspection. In all of these situations, the report needs to be thorough, clearly written, and signed by a credentialed professional. That is what Florida Foliage provides.
