No Alabama statute and no Madison County ordinance requires replacing a removed tree in unincorporated areas. Replanting mandates exist only inside cities like Huntsville, or as a condition in HOA covenants and development approvals.
Alabama sets no replant-what-you-cut rule, and Madison County has no authority to impose one on private land in unincorporated areas, so replacing a removed tree is entirely voluntary in Hazel Green, Toney, and Gurley. Where replacement is required, the source is municipal or private: Huntsville's tree ordinance can require replacement or mitigation plantings when protected or right-of-way trees are removed, and city site-plan and subdivision reviews build tree-replacement standards into new development. In the unincorporated county, HOA covenants sometimes require a homeowner to replace a removed canopy tree to preserve the neighborhood's look. Commercial development carrying county or state stormwater and landscaping conditions may also include replanting terms, but a rural homeowner faces none.
None from the county for not replacing a removed tree. Failing to meet a Huntsville replacement condition violates the city ordinance. HOA replanting requirements are enforced by the association.
