The City of Gig Harbor values its urban forestry resources and has a number of regulations to guide and protect the management, removal, and replacement of trees. In 2023, the City began development of its first Urban Forestry Management Plan, which will guide investment and implementation of tree and urban forestry-related activities over the next ten years. 

Trees provide aesthetic, ecological, and social benefits to the City, which are recognized through strategic management and regulations. Gig Harbor Municipal Code (GHMC) Chapter 17.78 regulates trees, landscaping and screening.

General Requirements:


  • Topping is prohibited, prune trees per the ANSI A300 Standard.
  • Removal of dead, diseased, damaged, or hazardous trees is permitted upon submittal of written verification by a qualified arborist.
