Oklahoma City §59-10920 requires 2:1 replacement for PUD protected trees removed. Fee-in-lieu available. Native species preferred. 2-year establishment monitoring.
Oklahoma City Municipal Code §59-10920 requires replacement planting when protected trees in commercial PUDs or urban-design districts are removed. Standard replacement ratio is 2:1 for trees 8 to 24-inch DBH and 3:1 for specimen trees over 24-inch DBH. Replacement trees must be minimum 2-inch caliper (measured 6 inches above grade) from the OKC-approved native species list including: post oak, bur oak, shumard oak, American elm (DED-resistant varieties), pecan, redbud, Oklahoma red cedar, and chinkapin oak. Non-native and invasive species (Bradford pear, tree-of-heaven, Chinese tallow) are prohibited. Fee-in-lieu option at $300 per replacement tree paid to OKC Tree Fund when on-site planting is impractical. Two-year establishment period with survival guarantee — dead replacements must be re-planted. Edmond Code §22-44 requires 1:1 to 3:1 replacement. Private residential removals generally unregulated, so no replacement required for backyard trees.
Failure to replace in PUD: $250 to $1,000 per tree + required planting (OKC §59-10999). Fee-in-lieu unpaid: lien on property.
