If your neighborhood is still under construction and has not been released to the Town, the developer is responsible for replacing dead street trees. 

If your neighborhood is no longer in construction and has an HOA, they would be responsible for replacing the dead street trees. 

If your home is not associated with an HOA, the homeowner would then be required to replace the trees.
