Right-of-Way Tree Requests via Austin 3-1-1
馃嚭馃嚫 Austin, TX, United States 路 City of Austin (Austin 3-1-1 / Transportation and Public Works)
A channel to ask the city about trees in the public right-of-way, including empty tree wells and replacement plantings
Austin does not run a dedicated 'request a street tree' program. The city's Tree Information Center directs right-of-way tree questions to Austin 3-1-1, and 311 'Tree Issue Right of Way' tickets are used by residents to ask for new or replacement trees in empty sidewalk tree wells. Austin Transportation and Public Works can determine whether a tree or planting site is in the right-of-way.
Who qualifies
Anyone in Austin can submit a 3-1-1 request; renters can report a site near where they live.
How to apply
Call 3-1-1 (512-974-2000 from outside Austin), use the Austin 311 app, or submit online at 311.austintexas.gov and describe the location and the empty tree well or planting request. Requests are routed to the responsible department.
