Answered for Brownsburg, Hendricks County.
Brownsburg is a subdivision town: real-estate data aggregators put the median construction year around 2002, with roughly 27% of the stock built 2000-2009 and another 21% built 2010-2019, and the population roughly doubled between 2000 and 2020. Most yard trees were planted as nursery stock when their addition was platted, so they are typically 15-30 years old; genuinely large trees are confined to the pre-1960 core near Main and Green streets and to leftover farm fencerows. That's the thing that decides what a tulip poplar here is likely to be — a mature specimen over a roofline, or nursery stock still establishing. Removing a tulip poplar around Brownsburg runs roughly $400–$1,900, and in Arbor Springs, Austin Meadows and Windridge access is usually what decides where in that range you land.
No published species-level street tree inventory exists for Brownsburg, so exact species counts are UNVERIFIED; what is documented is that the town replants under an approved street-tree list in Town Code Sec. 96.20, so the street canopy skews young and town-selected rather than volunteer-grown. The one region-wide certainty is that ash is effectively gone from the mix after emerald ash borer moved through Indiana.

Prune dormant, in late winter, and prune it young — the entire job is establishing one central leader and cutting out codominant stems while they are still 2 to 3 inches, because a tuliptree that loses its leader regrows a cluster of weakly attached upright shoots that fail 20 years later. The species-specific trap is waiting: large cuts on a mature tuliptree close slowly and poorly, so structural pruning at 15 years is cheap and structural pruning at 50 years is just decay you paid for.
Unlike most Indiana towns, Brownsburg does have a tree ordinance — Chapter 96 of the town code, adopted as part of its Tree City USA status. Sec. 96.27 gives the Town the right to plant, prune, maintain and remove trees within the lines of all streets, alleys and public grounds, and lets the Brownsburg Tree Committee order removal of any tree that is unsafe or is damaging sewers, power, gas or water lines. There is no documented permit requirement for removing a tree on your own private property — Indiana has no statewide permit either — and Chapter 96 is aimed at public trees. In the newer subdivisions the real constraint is usually the HOA covenants.
