Hernando requires 1:1 to 2:1 tree replacement in new development under its preservation ordinance. Southaven and Olive Branch require replacement only in platted subdivisions and commercial site plans.
Tree replacement requirements in DeSoto County apply primarily to new development rather than existing homes. Hernando requires 1:1 replacement for 12-24 inch DBH trees removed and 2:1 for significant trees (24+ inch DBH) in development projects — minimum 2-inch caliper replacements from approved native species list (oak, maple, elm, cypress). Southaven requires subdivision developers to preserve 25% of existing canopy or provide replacement planting. Olive Branch site plan review includes tree replacement standards for commercial projects. Horn Lake requires buffer plantings between residential and commercial uses. Fee-in-lieu options available in Hernando where replacement infeasible — funds go to city tree planting program. Maintenance bond for 1-2 years typical.
Failure to replace in development: $250 to $1,000 per tree plus required planting. Fee-in-lieu non-payment: lien on property. Dead replacements within 1-2 years: replanting required.
