Conroe requires permits for removing protected trees under Chapter 102 (Vegetation). No person may cut down, harvest, or remove any protected tree without an authorized permit. A clearing permit is required even if no trees exist on site. The urban forester enforces the tree ordinance.
Under Conroe's Chapter 102 vegetation ordinance, a permit is required before removing any protected tree (6 inches or greater in diameter). A clearing permit is mandatory for any land development, even if no trees exist on the site, to verify compliance with the tree ordinance. All clearing and tree preservation submissions must be submitted to the Engineering Department. A pre-clearing inspection is required once tree protection fencing is installed per the approved tree protection plan. The City of Conroe now uses OpenGov as its online portal for clearing permits and inspections.
Removing protected trees without authorization violates Chapter 102 and may result in fines and required mitigation.
