EMERGENCY TREE REMOVAL ON PRIVATE PROPERTY

Any tree on private property that poses an imminent threat to life or property may be removed without first obtaining a permit. The party removing the tree will contact the City within seven days of removal to provide evidence of threat, such as a certified arborist’s report, photographs and/or or other substantiating evidence, for approval of exemption from the provisions of the Tree Management code. If the Planning Official determines that the emergency tree removal was not warranted, he or she may require that the party obtain a permit and/or require that replacement trees and vegetation be replanted as mitigation.

For other tree removal on private property, please contact the Planning Department at (425) 587-3225 for a Tree Removal Permit prior to removal of the tree(s).
