Henderson Tree Code under HMC Title 14 requires approved species for parkway strips between sidewalk and curb. Master-planned communities (Anthem, Green Valley, Inspirada) follow approved species lists tied to DCP and MUD overlay design guidelines.
Henderson Public Works manages parkway and median tree planting under HMC Title 14 (Public Improvements). Approved species emphasize low-water desert-adapted varieties — desert willow, palo verde, mesquite, and Chinese pistache — while prohibiting high-water species like mulberry and weeping willow. Master-planned communities (Anthem, Green Valley, Inspirada) maintain HOA-specific approved lists tied to their DCP or MUD overlay design guidelines. Spacing typically requires 25 feet between trunks and clearances of 10 feet from utilities, 15 feet from streetlights.
Unauthorized parkway planting may be removed at owner cost. Damage to existing public trees can result in restitution charges based on appraised tree value.
