Check the right review path for your property.
Austin provides distinct guidance for trees on homes and on commercial or multifamily land. Establish the property type and proposed activity before assuming the same tree-work process applies to every address.
For a construction project, send the tree information with the site plan, not after the hardscape layout is fixed. Identify trees to retain, areas where equipment must pass, and proposed excavation. If the concern is health or safety rather than layout, start with photographs and a description of the change you have observed so the appropriate assessment can be discussed.
