Tree Removal in Sammamish, WA 🌳 – What You Need to Know


Planning tree removal in Sammamish? The City of Sammamish has specific rules for removing trees, whether you're dealing with a hazard tree, a significant tree, or simply managing your property’s landscape. Here's a quick guide on what you can and can’t do without a permit.


When You Don’t Need a Tree Removal Permit in Sammamish:

  • Pruning: No permit is required for pruning as long as you’re removing less than 30% of the tree’s branches over its lifetime. However, topping is strictly prohibited.
  • Dead or Hazardous Trees: If a tree is visibly dead or poses an imminent threat to life or property, removal may proceed without a permit. You’ll need photo documentation to prove the tree’s condition.
  • Emergency Removals: Trees that present an immediate danger during storms or emergencies can be removed without prior approval, but photographic proof is required afterward.

When You Do Need a Tree Removal Permit in Sammamish:

  • Significant Trees: Removal of any significant tree (8" DBH for conifers, 12" DBH for deciduous) requires a permit.
  • Critical Areas or Buffers: Trees in critical areas or critical area buffers (like wetlands or steep slopes) need special approval.
  • Heritage & Landmark Trees: Trees classified as heritage (22" DBH or larger) or landmark (32" DBH or larger) need permits, plus additional replacement requirements.
  • Tree Risk Assessments: For unhealthy trees, a TRAQ-certified ISA arborist must conduct a tree risk assessment.
