What You Need To Know About Tree Removal In Redmond

If you are a homeowner and want to remove a tree in your yard, the City of Redmond requires ALL removals to have an over-the-counter permit/sign-off form for inventory purposes.

Why Do You Need A Permit?

The city isn’t just worried about how your property looks; it’s also concerned about how it affects the environment.

Removing a tree without replacing it can cause potential water runoff problems for your property and your neighbors. Permits can also help prevent accidental removal of trees on public property.

How Many Trees Can You Remove?

That depends on a couple of things. If a tree is dead, diseased or hazardous, you should remove it before it causes damage or infects other trees.

If you want to remove healthy trees from your property, 2 tree removals are allowed per year but you are still required to fill out the over-the-counter permit/sign-off for inventory purposes. If your property is more than 10,000 sq. ft., you are allowed to remove more trees depending on the size of your property though a clearing and grading permit is needed when cutting down more than 10 trees.
