Tree removal in Kirkland
If you need to have a significant tree removed from a private property with no conditions, you will need to fill out a tree removal notification form, which has no fees associated with it.
If you need tree removal on a property with conditions or you are removing more than 2 trees, then you will need a tree removal permit, which requires a $200 fee. An arborist report is usually required though you may submit photos for trees with obvious defects or trees causing damage to your property.
Conditions that trigger Tree Removal Permit
- Removal of 1 or both of the last 2 significant trees remaining on property.
- Property has new residence built within last 5 years.
- Property contains Native Growth Protection Easement (NGPE).
- Property within 100 feet of critical area (streams, slopes with grade 15% or greater, wetlands).
- Property containing subdivision restrictions listed on deed or plat map.
- Property removing a tree along the shoreline of Lake Washington.
