Tuolumne County does not mandate tree replacement for trees removed from private residential property. Development projects that impact significant vegetation may have CEQA-based mitigation requirements including replanting.
Tuolumne County does not have a tree replacement ordinance requiring property owners to plant replacement trees when removing trees from residential property. However, development projects assessed under CEQA may receive conditions requiring tree replanting as mitigation for vegetation impacts. The county's reforestation efforts are primarily managed through CAL FIRE and the US Forest Service on public lands, particularly following wildfire events (the 2013 Rim Fire required extensive reforestation). Property owners clearing trees for defensible space (PRC §4291) are not required to replant — fire safety takes precedence. The county encourages using fire-resistant native species when landscaping.
No tree replacement violations for residential property. CEQA project conditions requiring replanting are enforceable through the development permit.
