Any time the tree is not in leaf. However, if necessary you can repot in Summer provided to make sure to keep it well watered and shade the plant for a few weeks. Root disturbance should be done with care, e.g. teasing some roots out of the rootball is probably sufficient.
If it is root bound, I would leave it until Spring when you can tease out the roots well to prepare them for their new home.
