Deer Park does not mandate tree replacement for trees removed on private residential property. During development, replacement plantings may be required as a condition of site plan approval.
Deer Park does not have a standalone tree replacement ordinance requiring homeowners to plant new trees when removing existing ones. For commercial and subdivision development, the city may condition site plan approval on landscaping plans that include tree plantings. The Zoning Ordinance (Appendix A) contains landscape buffer and screening requirements for certain developments that effectively mandate tree planting. The city's Parks Department plants trees in public spaces and along roadways. Residents are encouraged to plant wind-resistant native species suitable for the Gulf Coast climate, including live oak, cedar elm, and bald cypress, which better withstand hurricane-force winds.
No residential replacement penalties. Non-compliance with development landscape conditions may result in withholding of certificate of occupancy.
