Unincorporated Williamson County issues no tree-removal permits and requires none. Texas counties cannot zone, so there is no county tree-preservation ordinance. Permitting exists only inside city limits like Georgetown, Round Rock, and Cedar Park.
There is no tree-removal permit in unincorporated Williamson County. Because Texas counties have no zoning or general ordinance authority, the county maintains no tree-preservation code, no permit process, and no removal application for private land. Owners clearing trees deal only with recorded HOA architectural rules and the practical timing of oak-wilt-prone species. Municipalities do run permit programs: Georgetown, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Leander require permits to remove protected trees within their boundaries, so the rule depends on whether an address sits inside a city.
No county penalty for removal without a permit, because none exists. Inside city limits, removing a protected tree without a municipal permit brings fines and replacement requirements set by that city.
