Harris County has no tree replacement ordinance for unincorporated areas. No mitigation is required when removing trees on private property. The county does not require replanting or payment into a tree fund. Deed restrictions may impose individual replacement requirements.
Unincorporated Harris County has no tree replacement or mitigation ordinance. Unlike many Texas cities, the county does not require replacement planting, tree-inch mitigation, or payments into a tree fund when trees are removed on private property. The Harris County Flood Control District may require vegetation restoration as part of construction permits along waterways, but this is project-specific rather than a general tree replacement requirement. Subdivision deed restrictions sometimes require one-for-one replacement of significant trees removed during landscaping or construction.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Harris County code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
