Inside Woodcreek city limits, removing or trimming a tree on private residential property needs a city permit, including do-it-yourself work. Heritage trees need additional variance review. Invasive species and oak wilt can change fees or replacement; they do not waive the permit. The ETJ is not an automated answer. Checked November 6, 2026.
How to apply: File a Tree Removal Permit with the City of Woodcreek, including for work you do yourself. The form accepts a self-work option.
Boundary: Woodcreek is not on the City of Austin jurisdictions layer. The checker uses the US Census incorporated-place boundary (GEOID 4880058), corporate limits only, checked November 6, 2026. The ETJ is not included; a 2026 ETJ repeal was not verified.
Texas law: cities cannot charge a tree mitigation fee for a tree under 10" at an existing one- or two-family home you live in (Local Gov't Code §212.905, HB 7, 2017). Since 2023, landowners can petition to leave a city's ETJ (SB 2038), so ETJ lines change; we read the live City of Austin jurisdiction map.
