Is It Legal To Cut Down And Remove Sea Grape Trees Away From The Coast In Palm Beach County, Florida?

I am the president of a condo association, and we have a sea grape tree planted in front of each building (17 buildings) that we would like to remove, but I’ve heard it is illegal to cut them down as they are protected. When I researched the issue, I only found that it is unlawful to remove them from the dunes at the ocean. It doesn’t say anything about non coastal trees.

These articles pretty much say the same thing about not removing them from sand dunes, i.e., the coast.
