Let me ask you this; if our trees have numbered tree tags on them, does this
mean they are registered somewhere? If so, where.

Site development permits submitted to the City of Austin have to
include a tree survey. Usually these are for trees 8" diameter or
more and include a map and a list of trees. The numbers attached to
the trees are used in locating trees on the map, etc..

These are on file with the City but I have never looked one up before
so I do not know where they keep them. I have prepared several but
usually they are prepared by land survey companies. Surveyors know
little about trees though and you can get some really strange species
of trees. One I remember was "Mountain Blue Ash" and I have no idea
where they dug that name up as it was just a Texas Ash when I located
it on the tract. Pretty name though.

These surveys are a way to calculate tree losses due to a proposed
development. Also trees greater than 19" diameter must be handled
differently. You need a separate permit to take down one of these.

I wonder if they do these in Round Rock as well. Our trees are definitely more
than 19 inches in diameter. The one in front is possibly 30 inches in diameter.
The other two, maybe 24 inches and the neighbors tree which is west of our house
and which has a canopy over 100 feet, hangs in our yard and gives great shade in
the afternoon. His tree is possibly 4 feet in diameter. We no longer talk for
reasons I won't go into other than to say he stockpiled diazinon when they
announced the phase out and has possibly 30 bags of it in his garage. Then has
the audacity to point out my datura and oleander are poisonous and his
kids...blather, blather...

I'm going to call the Williamson County office extension and see what they say.
