Tree Removal in Redmond

What You Need To Know About Tree Removal In Redmond

• The city requires a Tree Removal Permit for removal of any “significant tree,” defined as a tree with at least 6″ diameter (measured 4.5 ft above grade). Redmond
• A “Hazard Tree Declaration” — including a certified arborist’s health assessment — is required prior to removal of any hazardous tree. If a tree is dead, dying, or poses imminent risk, photo documentation may suffice (subject to city discretion). Redmond
• For larger projects or removal of many trees (e.g., more than the allowed number, or especially when more than 10 trees), a Clearing and Grading Permit may be required instead of just the Tree Removal Permit.

What You Should Know

• Even removal of healthy trees requires a permit — Redmond does not distinguish via size thresholds alone. Redmond
• If you anticipate removing multiple trees, or doing a larger land‑alteration, early planning is important — a Clearing & Grading Permit may be needed, which has more documentation, potential fees, and possibly a longer review time.
