Do I Need a Tree Removal Permit in Vancouver?

Permit requirements depend on municipality, tree characteristics and site circumstances. Check the relevant municipal rules and confirm permit responsibility with the provider before work begins.

This guide is general information, not an arborist assessment. Tree condition and municipal requirements can vary substantially from one property to another.

When to get professional help

For large trees, visible defects, nearby buildings, utility lines, steep sites or permit-sensitive work, get an on-site assessment from a qualified independent provider.
