Hinds County does not mandate residential tree replacement. Jackson subdivision regulations and commercial landscape standards require minimum tree plantings. Public right-of-way removals coordinate with city Urban Forester.
Hinds County municipalities do not require 1:1 or 3:1 replacement for residential tree removal on private property. New subdivisions in Jackson must meet landscape and street tree standards under the subdivision regulations, typically requiring street trees at prescribed spacing (often 40 to 50 feet) in new residential developments. Commercial site plans must include landscape plans with minimum tree counts based on parking lot size and frontage — part of Jackson's zoning ordinance landscape requirements. When the city removes a right-of-way tree, the Urban Forester may schedule replacement through the city tree fund, though budgets have been limited amid Jackson's broader fiscal pressures since the 2022 water crisis. Clinton and Raymond apply similar new-development landscape standards.
Failure to install required subdivision street trees: certificate of occupancy hold. Commercial landscape non-compliance: $250 to $2,500.
