Tulsa County has no tree replacement mandate for private property. City of Tulsa requires 1:1 replacement for street trees removed under permit per TRO Title 33. Development projects may face landscape buffer replacement under TZC Chapter 65.
Neither unincorporated Tulsa County nor City of Tulsa impose tree replacement requirements for trees removed from private residential property. The City of Tulsa does require 1:1 replacement when a street tree or right-of-way tree is removed under permit, per TRO Title 33 § 33-308. Replacement trees must be nursery stock, minimum 2-inch caliper, from the city's approved species list. Commercial development projects and new subdivisions must comply with TZC Chapter 65 landscape buffer and parking-lot tree requirements, which specify mitigation when existing canopy trees are removed. A fee-in-lieu option exists for commercial sites where on-site replacement is impractical, with proceeds going to the City Tree Fund. Individual homeowners removing trees from their own yards have no replacement obligation.
Failure to replace street tree under permit: $250-$1,000 plus mandatory replanting under TRO § 33-308. Commercial site without required landscape trees: site plan noncompliance, stop-work order, fines $500-$2,500. Fee-in-lieu default: lien on property.
