Pearland requires tree preservation review and permits for development sites and protected trees under Chapter 29 of the city code and the Unified Development Code.
Pearland regulates tree removal primarily through Chapter 29 Trees and Vegetation and Chapter 4 of the Unified Development Code. Development sites must submit a tree survey identifying protected trees of qualifying size, typically those measuring 12 inches or larger in diameter. Removal of qualifying trees on development or commercial sites requires city approval, which may impose preservation, replacement, or fee-in-lieu obligations. The Urban Forester reviews requests and inspects sites. Standard residential maintenance pruning and removal of dead or hazardous trees is generally allowed without a permit.
Stop work orders; permit denial; fines up to $500 per tree per day; required replacement or tree trust contributions.
