Trees and Vegetation within Right-of-Way

As a property owner and/or tenant you need to be conscious about managing vegetation on your property to ensure it does not block visibility of sidewalks or roadways. Some projects require the completion of a Vegetation Removal Permit:

Per Sultan Municipal Code 12.08

Keep any horizontal projection of tree branches and vegetation trimmed back from all edges of streets and sidewalks, and:

  • At least 8 feet above sidewalks.
  • At least 14 feet above roadway/street surfaces/alley.
