Current Tree Permits

A permit is required to remove trees from properties in Lake Forest Park. Removing trees without a permit is against the law. Please check the list of current permits:

If you see trees being cut down without a permit during business hours, please call the Planning Department at (206) 368-5440. If you see trees being removed without a permit when City Hall is closed, please call 911. The Lake Forest Park Police Department will respond to your report about illegal tree removal when City Hall is closed.

Trees removed with a permit must subsequently be replaced. There are materials on the website that answer general questions about the ordinance:

Tree removal permits are available online:
