Yes.
Tacoma Municipal Code (TMC) 9.18 requires permits for pruning or tree removal in the right-of-way, and TMC 9.20 requires permits for pruning or removal of trees from the right-of-way or public property for view purposes. In most situations, removal of a tree in the right-of-way will require replacement of the tree. Tree Work permits are available at aca.accela.com/tacoma.
Is a permit needed to prune/remove trees in the right-of-way?
