Trees

Do I need a tree permit?

The answer is almost always yes. The following may be allowed without a permit, but there are exceptions. 

1.   Pruning a tree/ normal maintenance of a tree on your property

2.   Cutting a small tree outside of a critical area/ buffer on your property

3.   Pruning tree limbs that reach over your property (up to the property line)

4.   Removal of a species identified in the weed of concern, noxious, or invasive weed list established by Washington or King County

The Tree Management Code may be found in Medina's Municipal Code Chapter 16.52 .
