That depends on what type of tree. Usually, you wouldn't plant closer than one half of the expected mature height away from the house. Then there is the added consideration of what the root system is like, as they can do major damage to underground services. As all of this depends on the particular species and how invasive their root system is, it would be best to get information from local authorities on their rules and recommendations. In many areas, there are legal issues relating to this.
A certified Home Inspector would, or should, write up any bush or tree within six feet of the foundation or stemwall. Any tree found to be closer than fifteen feet to the building, should be considered for removal.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the type and variety. Maple roots do not normally cause damsge but to get the best effect of the tree it should be far enough away from the building to let you enjoy the full grown tree without excessive pruning, so check the ultimate dimensions.

∙ 10y agoshade is great and so is the natural look of a tree overlooking your front porch but the large trees have large roots that can and will grow under the house and do tend to manipulate the ground and its surroundings. This is a tickly subject. you need to really think about your love for trees and whether or not you want them close to your heart or close to your house.
Micron: a typical hardwood tree's root system extends beyond its canopy. If the tree canopy can grow to spread out 30 feet in one direction, the root system will likely grow beyond that (thus be more than 60 feet in diameter). Roots will go even further if there is water nearby and will penetrate sewer lines and weeping tile to find water. So how close depends on factors such as ground water conditions and whether or not you will have a septic bed. An arborist could aid you in determining how close you should come, because you could disturb the tree's living space and cause it to die, which would kind of negate your reason for locating the building there in the first place.
