Tree removal permit rules in Pearland, TX — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Pearland Code Chapter 29 (Trees and Vegetation) regulates removal of protected trees on commercial and developing parcels, with city approval required before cutting larger qualifying trees.
Pearland's Trees and Vegetation chapter sets standards for protecting qualifying trees during land development, site plan review, and certain commercial improvements. A protected tree generally means a healthy tree of a listed species above a minimum diameter measured at breast height. Removal during construction triggers tree preservation review through Community Development, and replacement trees or fee-in-lieu may be required. Single family homeowners removing trees on their own occupied lot face fewer restrictions, but trees in public rights-of-way and on undeveloped tracts being platted require city authorization before cutting.
Stop-work orders, denial of certificate of occupancy, civil penalties, and replacement-tree mitigation calculated by caliper inches.
