For existing single-family residential properties and existing commercial
properties, a permit is required to remove a healthy significant tree. This
includes pruning that removes more than one-third of the existing branches.
The number of trees allowed to be removed depends on the property’s
zoning, the presence of critical areas, the lot size, and the number of trees
previously removed. For more information visit www.sammamish.us/trees.
