Tree Removal in Sammamish
Complete Application For Tree Removal In Sammamish
Permit Thresholds
- In Sammamish, a permit is required to remove any deciduous tree over 12 inches in diameter (measured 54″ from the ground), or any conifer over 8 inches in diameter (measured likewise).
- Trees smaller than those thresholds generally may be removed without a permit — unless they are located in a “critical area” or protected zone.
- Emergency removals (e.g., hazard situations) may be exempt — but often require photographic or video evidence to document the danger, followed by a permit application. Sammamish+1

We offer:
- Pre‑removal review to determine if your trees exceed the size thresholds or fall within protected zones,

- Coordination with arborists or city officials as needed, ensuring compliance and minimizing delays.
Why Our Approach Matters
At Canopy Solutions, LLC, we understand that regulations vary significantly between Eastside cities — not just in size thresholds, but in definitions (e.g., “significant tree,” “landmark tree”), special zones (critical areas, native growth, historical trees), and the paperwork required.
By tailoring each page to the relevant city code, in plain‑language and in a friendly yet professional tone, we make it easy for your clients to understand when a permit is needed — and when they can skip it.
Plus, by offering to handle paperwork, site plans, arborist coordination, and mitigation/ replanting plans, we remove the burden from property owners, making the tree‑removal or tree‑management process smoother, safer, and code‑compliant.
