Tree Removal in Kent
Is the tree located in a public right-of-way?
(Street trees, planting strips, city easements)
Is the tree “significant (12"-Deciduous or 6"-Conifer)” or in an environmentally sensitive area?
(Wetlands, creeks, slopes, greenbelts, other critical areas)
Is removal associated with development, grading, or land-use changes?
Is this minor pruning or small-scale removal on private property, not in a critical area, and not part of development?

Important Notes for Kent
- Confirm whether a tree is in a public right-of-way, an environmentally sensitive area, or part of a development/land-use project.
- Even on private property, removal of significant trees or multiple trees may require a permit or mitigation plan.
- Unauthorized removal may result in penalties or mandatory replanting under city codes.
