Unincorporated Mohave County imposes no tree-replacement or canopy-mitigation ratio on homeowners. Arizona's Native Plant Law leans toward salvaging and relocating protected desert plants rather than requiring replacement planting after removal.
The county has no replacement-ratio ordinance requiring you to plant new trees when one comes down, unlike canopy-preservation cities elsewhere. Arizona's approach to desert vegetation is salvage-based: rather than mandating replanting, the Native Plant Law channels protected plants toward relocation and reuse, so a builder or landowner clearing ground is expected to let qualified salvagers tag and move protected specimens. Any replacement or replanting duty a homeowner faces here is far more likely to come from an HOA landscape covenant or a specific development or zoning condition than from a countywide tree ordinance.
No county replacement penalties for homeowners. Failing to allow salvage of protected native plants, or destroying them without authorization, is a Native Plant Law violation. HOA landscape requirements are enforced privately by the association.
