If you’ve ever done major projects or changes on your property, you’re probably well-versed in your town's permitting process. It may come as no surprise that, often, if you are removing a tree of a certain size, you need a permit for this, too.
At Rain City Tree Works, we want to make the process as seamless as possible for you. Below, we’ve compiled a list of various Washington municipalities that we serve, links to their websites, and information on when a permit is required.
And if you’re reading this thinking, “Wow, I do not even know what this information means or how to measure the size of my tree!” no problem. Give us a call or submit a form via our website here. We’ll help you figure out the next steps so you can be sure you’re doing things by the books.
We’ll update the sections below as often as we can, but please click the link to the specific town website to ensure you’re seeing the latest information.
If you don't see a link for your specific town or location, contact us and we can answer any questions.
