Shoreline Tree Removal Permits & Tree Code (2025 Guide for Homeowners)

To help homeowners, HOAs, and contractors navigate these rules, we’ve put together a detailed 2025 guide to Shoreline tree removal permits and tree code. This resource explains when permits are required, how Shoreline defines significant trees, what Environmentally Critical Areas (ECAs) mean for tree work, and what replanting or mitigation may be required after removal. Reviewing this guide before scheduling work can help you avoid fines, delays, and compliance issues. If you’re unsure whether your tree requires a permit, our ISA Certified Arborists can help review your situation and guide you through the process.
