Tree removal permit rules in Cedar Park, TX — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
You can remove trees on your own property in unincorporated Williamson County without a county permit. The county has no zoning power and no tree ordinance. Only recorded HOA covenants can restrict private tree removal.
Williamson County does not require a permit to cut down trees on private land. Texas counties lack general ordinance and zoning authority, so there is no county tree-preservation code, no mitigation fee, and no protected-species list governing removal on unincorporated residential lots. The meaningful limits are practical and contractual: oak wilt spreads from freshly cut oaks, so removals are timed and cuts sealed, and platted subdivisions may require architectural-committee approval before removing large or street-facing trees. Cities such as Georgetown, Round Rock, and Cedar Park do regulate removal inside their limits.
No county penalty applies. Removing a protected or street-facing tree without HOA architectural approval can trigger fines under recorded covenants. City permits apply once a property sits inside municipal limits.
