Tyler Permits and Local Rules

Tyler requires a clearing and grading permit before predevelopment clearing or placing fill on undeveloped land, and its code aims to prohibit indiscriminate clearing.

RuleWhat it means for your projectSource
Clearing and grading permitA clearing and grading permit is required before agricultural timbering, predevelopment clearing or placing fill on an undeveloped site, and living, healthy trees 6 inches or larger may not be removed without a permit.Source
Buffer stripsThe permit application needs an inventory of trees 6 inches or larger in buffer areas; a 40-foot undisturbed strip must remain along 75% of street frontage and a 25-foot strip along 75% of side and rear lines.Source
Where tree preservation appliesTree preservation applies to clearing without a building permit in multifamily, commercial, office and manufacturing districts; there is no tree preservation requirement in the Agricultural Zone.Source
Call 811 before diggingHomeowners, excavators and contractors are required by law to call 811 at least two days before digging. The call is free.Source
Construction stormwater permitDisturbing 1 acre or more, including clearing, grading and excavating, needs TCEQ construction stormwater coverage. Smaller sites can too if part of a larger common plan of development.Source
Burning cleared brushTCEQ allows burning brush from on-site land clearing under certain conditions, but never during a county burn ban or red flag warning, and never materials such as plastic, tires or treated lumber. County burn bans are mapped daily by the Texas A&M Forest Service (https://tfsweb.tamu.edu/BurnBans/).Source

Confirm requirements for your parcel with the city or county before work starts. See land clearing permits for a full checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do forestry mulching contractors charge in Tyler?

HomeAdvisor puts forestry mulching at $400 to $1,500 per acre, or $125 to $400 per hour. No reliable Tyler-specific figure is published, so compare written quotes for the same acreage and finish.

Do I need a permit for forestry mulching in Tyler?

Often, yes. Inside Tyler city limits, the code requires a clearing and grading permit before predevelopment clearing, timbering or placing fill on undeveloped land, and trees 6 inches or larger can’t be removed without one. Tree preservation rules apply in multifamily, commercial, office and manufacturing districts, not the Agricultural Zone, so check your zoning with the city.

Is forestry mulching enough to build on?

Not by itself. Mulching leaves roots and a layer of organic material, which usually need removal under foundations and driveways. See lot clearing.
