League City's Unified Development Code includes tree preservation requirements for development projects. Significant trees on development sites may require preservation or replacement. The city encourages tree canopy preservation through its development review process.
The UDC (Chapter 125) includes landscaping and tree preservation standards applied during development review. Tree surveys may be required for new development applications. Significant trees identified during review may be required to be preserved or replaced with appropriate species. The city does not have a standalone heritage tree ordinance for private residential properties outside of development contexts.
Unauthorized removal of protected trees during development: replacement plantings may be required and building permits may be delayed.
