If the category of your policy that pays the debris removal expenses allows for tree and/or vegetation removal, then the expense is an allowable offsetting cost. However, if your policy has a separate provision for trees, vegetation and/or landscaping, property owners may not be able to be reimbursed for tree/vegetation removal out of other portions of their policy unless is permitted within the policy. Before requesting reimbursement or withholding any amounts from your debris removal insurance proceeds for tree or vegetation removal, contact your adjuster to ascertain whether such activity is an allowable expense within the policy. To receive reimbursement, or withhold insurance funds, the County will require property owners to affirmatively state that the out-of-pocket expenses you are claiming are allowed under your policy.
