FAQ
How much does tree removal cost in Kent, WA?
The average cost to remove a tree is $850, but prices can range significantly. A small tree (under 30 feet) can cost between $285 and $435, while a large tree (over 80 feet) can cost up to $2,000. Keep in mind that these estimates are for the removal of the tree only. Stump grinding, wood disposal, and other related services will cost extra.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Kent, WA?
The City of Kent utilizes a “call before you cut” policy. If you have a single-family residential property, you generally do not need a permit to remove a private tree, as long as it is not located in a critical area (like a steep slope or wetland) or a shoreline buffer, and is not located in the public right-of-way. However, you must obtain city approval or a permit in the following circumstances:
You are removing more than two trees.
The tree is located in the public right-of-way.
The tree is located in a critical area (such as a wetland, a slope prone to erosion, or a creek).
Can I cut down a tree that sits on the property line?
In Washington state, trees located directly on the property line are considered the common property of both landowners. This means that you cannot destroy the tree without the consent of the other property owner. Doing so can expose you to liability under Washington’s timber trespass statute (RCW 64.12.030), which can result in treble damages (meaning three times the amount of the assessed damages).
Who cleans it up if a neighbor's tree falls in my yard?
Generally, you are responsible for the damage and cleanup if a neighbor’s healthy tree falls onto your property due to natural causes, such as a windstorm. You would need to file a claim with your own insurance company. However, if the tree was dead, diseased, or decayed, and fell because your neighbor failed to maintain it, they may be held liable for the damage.
