Yakima County requires replacement planting when permitted trees are removed. Replacement ratios and species specifications ensure canopy preservation.
Yakima County tree replacement ordinance requires planting new trees when permitted removals occur. Standard replacement ratios range from 1:1 to 3:1 depending on the size and species of the removed tree. Replacement trees must meet minimum caliper requirements, typically 1.5 to 2 inch caliper at planting. Approved species lists ensure appropriate native or adapted varieties. Replacement trees must be planted on the same property when space allows, or a fee-in-lieu paid to the city tree fund. A maintenance period of 1 to 2 years ensures establishment.
Failure to replace: $250 to $1,000 per tree plus required planting. Fee-in-lieu non-payment: lien on property.
