Renton Tree Service From ISA Certified Arborists

Renton gives homeowners a little room: you can remove up to two significant trees in a year, and no more than five in five years, without a permit — as long as none is a landmark tree, none sits in a critical area, and they aren’t the last two significant trees on the lot.

A Tree City USA since 2007, Renton is working toward 30% canopy by 2032. From the Highlands and Benson Hill to the Sunset Area and The Orchards, protected slopes, landslide hazard areas and stream and shoreline buffers are where the rules tighten. Our ISA Certified Arborists will tell you what applies to your lot before anything is booked, in a free written estimate.

Know the Rules

Renton’s Tree Rules in Plain English

From Renton’s tree code (RMC 4-4-130) and the city’s urban forestry FAQ:

✓Up to two significant trees a year, and five in five years, can come down without a permit — if none is a landmark tree or in a critical area, and they aren’t the lot’s last two.
✓Significant trees are 6 inches and up in diameter, or 8 inches for alder and cottonwood.
✓Landmark trees — 24 inches and up, or 30 inches for bigleaf maple, black cottonwood and red alder — always need a permit.
✓No tree removal in critical areas, shoreline buffers, protected slopes or very high landslide hazard areas, except as the code allows.
✓Up to three high-risk trees a year can be removed when certified by an ISA TRAQ arborist, if no landmark trees are involved.
✓Topping is prohibited unless the city has approved the tree for removal.

Not sure whether your tree is significant, landmark or in a critical area? We’ll check during a free on-site inspection. Our permit guide compares rules across nearby cities.

Renton Tree Service FAQ

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Renton?

Not always. You can remove up to two significant trees a year, five in five years, without a permit — unless a tree is a landmark tree, sits in a critical area, or is one of the last two significant trees on your lot.

What counts as a landmark tree?

A tree 24 inches or more in diameter — or 30 inches for bigleaf maple, black cottonwood and red alder. Removing one always requires a permit.

Can a high-risk tree be removed?

Yes. Renton allows up to three high-risk trees a year, certified by an ISA arborist holding the Tree Risk Assessment Qualification, as long as no landmark trees are involved. For storm damage, call us 24/7 at (425) 584-1233.

Who looks after street trees?

The City of Renton plants and maintains trees in the right-of-way, including watering.
