North Las Vegas does not have a comprehensive heritage or protected tree ordinance for private residential property. Property owners generally have the right to remove trees on their own land. However, HOA communities may require architectural committee approval before removing trees visible from common areas. Trees in public rights-of-way and parks are city property and require permission to trim or remove. The desert climate limits native tree species — most residential trees are planted ornamentals.
