Fort Bend County does not require general tree removal permits on private property, but subdivision developers must protect existing qualifying trees inside dedicated landscape reserves to earn planting credits.
Under Section 7.4 of the Fort Bend County Regulations of Subdivisions, developers receive credit toward required thoroughfare tree plantings only when they preserve trees from the approved planting list located within dedicated landscape reserves. Credit is granted at 1:1 for trees 3 to 6 inches in diameter (measured 12 inches above ground) and 1.5:1 for trees over 6 inches. Preserved trees must be ringed by a 4-foot orange wind fence at the drip line for the entire construction phase, and no fill material may be placed inside the drip line. The county does not regulate tree removal on developed private lots in unincorporated areas.
Failure to protect credited preservation trees voids the credit and forces the developer to replace required plantings before final county acceptance of the subdivision project.
