If the jacaranda is a designated street tree in the parkway, yes, the city requires a permit. A jacaranda on private property away from the parkway generally does not need one.

Why does my jacaranda drop so many pods and flowers?

Jacarandas bloom heavily in late spring and drop a sticky purple carpet, followed by woody seed pods later in the year. That mess is normal for the species and is not on its own a sign the tree needs to come down.
