Argyle Tree Rebate Program

The Tree Rebate Program is a program designed to increase Argyle's tree canopy by offering tree planting incentives to Argyle residents, businesses, and neighborhoods. Rebates for planting trees are available when planting a qualifying native or adaptive tree species within the Town limits.

The program will enable each property to purchase up to five (5) qualifying trees of 5 or 15-gallon size or two (2) 30-gallon trees between October 1 and March 1. Taxes/delivery are counted toward the total cost of the tree.

Rebate tiers for Residents:

The program will enable each Homeowners Association (HOA) to purchase up to ten (10) qualifying trees of 5 or 15-gallon size or four (4) 30-gallon trees or two (2) 3-inch caliper trees to plant in the common spaces that are HOA owned, and not on individual lots. Taxes/delivery are counted toward the total cost of the tree.
