Tree Removal Rules In Bartonville

Bartonville's intent is written into the code: the rural nature of the town is to be conserved "by not cutting down trees, even when it is more convenient and economical to do so." Designated homestead property (up to 10 acres) is exempt; on any other property, protected trees — any tree at 12 inches diameter, or 29 listed native species at 10 inches — need a $125 tree removal permit, red-ribbon tagging, and a town inspection before removal.

  • Protected: any tree 12 inches diameter and up, and 29 listed species — post oak, blackjack oak, pecan, live oak, cedar elm, bur oak, bald cypress, and more — at 10 inches, measured 4.5 feet above ground
  • Homestead property (up to 10 acres) is exempt from the permit requirement
  • $125 permit fee, site plan, red-ribbon tagging, and town inspection before removal
  • Root-zone rules are codified: protective fencing, no material storage in root zones, tree wells for 6-inch-plus grade changes

HOA & Review Boards

Saddlebrook Estates — Bartonville's signature gated community, with custom homes on 2–5.5 acre lots, an equestrian center, and greenbelt trails — is the town's main association-governed neighborhood, though no HOA publishes tree-specific rules. The binding tree rules here are the town's Article 3.05, one of the stricter small-town codes in Denton County.

Native Trees & Soil In Bartonville

Bartonville lies in southern Denton County's Cross Timbers belt — post oak and blackjack oak growing from sandy ground over sandstone — and the town's ordinance names those two species first on its protected list. Post oaks tolerate almost no root disturbance and can take years to die after construction damage, which is exactly why Bartonville codified trenching, grade-change, and root-pruning rules into its tree article.

Bartonville Oak Pruning Window

Oak wilt is confirmed in 76 Texas counties and spreads about 75 feet a year through connected live oak roots. Bartonville's protected-species list is heavy with susceptible oaks — post, blackjack, live, Shumard, bur — so the pruning calendar matters: no oak pruning February 1 through June 30, and paint every oak wound immediately.

On your designated homestead (up to 10 acres), no permit is required. On any other Bartonville property, protected trees — any tree 12 inches in diameter, or 29 listed native species at 10 inches — need a $125 tree removal permit, a site plan, red-ribbon tagging, and a town inspection before the saw starts. Rules change — confirm current requirements with the town before removal.

The town measures at 4.5 feet above ground: everything is protected at 12 inches diameter, and 29 named species — post oak, blackjack oak, pecan, live oak, cedar elm, bur oak, bald cypress, even yaupon holly and redbud — are protected from 10 inches. Trees within 4 feet of the building pad, right-of-way, or utility easements are the main exception. Rules change — confirm the current list with the town.

Replacement is real and inspected: removed protected trees are replaced with container-grown trees at least 2-inch caliper and 6 feet tall, no lot may drop below three trees, and the town re-inspects 12–18 months later — failed replacements must be replanted within 90 days of notice. Plan replacements that will actually pass that inspection.

Generally yes — protection kicks in at the 10–12 inch thresholds, homesteads are exempt from the permit requirement, and no mitigation fee applies to diseased, dead, or hazardous trees. But on non-homestead land, each protected tree removed without a permit is a separate misdemeanor offense, so map the big trees first. Rules change — confirm current requirements with the town.

Yes. Texas Tree Tops provides emergency tree service for storm damage, fallen trees, split trunks, blocked driveways, and hazardous limbs in Bartonville and nearby DFW communities.
