Thank you for contacting Senator Konni Burton regarding SB 14, relating to a property owner's right to remove a tree or vegetation. We have recorded your opposition to the bill and passed the information to the senator.
For Senator Burton, SB 14 is purely about property rights, which are one the foundational rights of a free society. Many cities in Texas have passed tree ordinances which require a homeowner to get permission from the city, and/or pay a fee, to remove a tree on their personal property. SB 14 simply prevents a political subdivision from enacting or enforcing such a regulation on residential property owners only. The bill does not restrict a city from regulating trees on commercial or public property, and a homeowners association may continue to oversee tree activity in its jurisdiction.

Senator Burton will always be on the side of protecting your rights. Thank you, again, for contacting the senator on this issue. We appreciate your input and are grateful for your involvement in the legislative process.
Sincerely,
Savannah Schallen
Deputy District Director
State Senator Konni Burton, District 10
