City of San Antonio

Trees are an important part of the beauty, ecology and quality of life for the people and businesses in San Antonio.  Because it is important this crucial resource is cared for and protected in responsible ways, the City of San Antonio has adopted the Tree Preservation Ordinance.  This is the law governing tree removal and maintenance for residence as well as commercial property owners and those who maintain them.  Here is a link to the City's website and the Tree Preservation Ordinance.
