Tree removal permit rules in Round Rock, TX — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Round Rock requires a tree removal permit for the removal of protected trees on private property. The development code establishes minimum trunk diameter thresholds for protected status.
Round Rock's development code protects certain trees based on trunk diameter at breast height (DBH). Trees meeting the minimum DBH threshold for their species may require a tree removal permit from Development Services. Applicants must demonstrate a legitimate reason for removal (disease, hazard, construction necessity) or pay a mitigation fee to replace removed trees. Protected trees removed without a permit may require replacement at a ratio of 2:1 or higher. Heritage trees or specimen trees receive the highest level of protection. Contact Development Services to determine whether a specific tree requires a permit.
Unpermitted removal of a protected tree: fines based on replacement caliper value. City may require on-site replacement or payment to the tree fund.
