Local Rules & Permits

Tree Removal Rules In Colleyville

Colleyville has regulated tree removal since 1993. Trees 6 inches DBH and larger are protected; on homestead property, state law allows removal of trees under 10 inches DBH, but larger trees — and anything inside a tree preservation easement — go through the city’s online tree removal permit first.

  • Protected: any tree 6 inches DBH or larger (ten species such as mesquite and hackberry are excluded)
  • Permit fees: $50 base plus $25 per protected tree removed
  • Single-family homeowners on lots of one acre or more pay no permit fee
  • Dead, declining, or hazardous trees are fee-exempt

HOA & Review Boards

The Timarron master-planned community extends into Colleyville — two of its seventeen neighborhoods sit here — and its Owners Association requires Design Review approval for exterior modifications, with neighborhood-specific landscape guidelines. The binding tree rules still come from the city’s Urban Forestry code.

Native Trees & Soil In Colleyville

The city itself notes Colleyville lies in the Eastern Cross Timbers, a forest dominated by post oak and blackjack oak on coarse sandy soils over sandstone — sandy loam over clay hardpan that produces shallow, disturbance-intolerant root systems. Its heritage tree list centers on Cross Timbers natives — post oak, blackjack oak, cottonwood, water oak, and ash — some 200 to 400+ years old. Post oaks grow too slowly to heal torn roots before decay sets in, which is why Colleyville maintains its own city Forestry Management Plan.

Colleyville Oak Pruning Window

Tarrant County is among the 76 Texas counties with confirmed oak wilt — the fungus spreads via sap-feeding beetles to fresh wounds and about 75 feet per year through connected live oak roots. Do not prune oaks February 1 through June 30, and paint every wound immediately.

Usually, yes. Colleyville has regulated tree removal since 1993, and any tree 6 inches DBH or larger is protected. On your own homestead, state law lets you remove trees under 10 inches DBH — but larger trees, and anything in a tree preservation easement, go through the city’s online tree removal permit first. Rules change — confirm current requirements with the city before removal.

The base fee is $50 plus $25 per protected tree removed — but single-family homeowners on lots of one acre or more pay no permit fee, and dead, declining, or hazardous trees are fee-exempt. Mitigation, where it applies, is separate from the permit fee. Rules change — confirm the current fee schedule with the city before removal.

Colleyville gives extra protection to trees of exceptional size or species — its heritage list centers on Cross Timbers natives: post oak, blackjack oak, cottonwood, water oak, and green and white ash that have reached significant age. Removing one carries multiplied mitigation, so identifying whether your tree qualifies is step one. Rules change — confirm current heritage criteria with the city before removal.

Colleyville sits in the Eastern Cross Timbers, and its signature post oaks — some centuries old — cannot tolerate root disturbance. They grow too slowly to heal roots torn by trenching or compacted by equipment, and new irrigation often overwaters them. Decline can take two to five years to show, so an early assessment beats a removal later.

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