TPPF lays out 2 ways by which Austin’s heritage tree ordinance violates private property rights:

• Control over natural resources dates back to the origin of private property rights

The legislative solution:  explicit statutory authority “that landowners own all the trees and timber on their land while also prohibiting a governmental entity from creating these kinds of regulations”
