Shenandoah allows tree removal from single-family residential property without a permit, provided the tree is not part of a city-approved vegetation plan or landscape buffer. Commercial properties have different requirements.
The City of Shenandoah FAQ clarifies that single-family residential property owners may remove trees without a permit, provided the tree has not been designated as part of a city-approved vegetation plan or required landscape buffer. If uncertain, contact the Public Works Department at 281-298-5522. Commercial properties and development projects that included required landscape plans as part of their permits must maintain those trees.
