Trees are regulated here — and protected by state homestead law
Colleyville runs a real urban forestry program: permit applications document trees over 6 in. DBH, Heritage Trees carry a five-times-canopy mitigation requirement, and tree preservation easements bind regardless of homestead status. Texas homestead law (Local Gov't Code §212.905) protects your right to remove trees under 10 in. DBH on an existing home lot. We design around the trees worth keeping and handle the paperwork for the rest — and we confirm current requirements with the city before any removal.
