Removing a tree in District of North Vancouver: your questions
Do I need a permit to cut down a tree in the District of North Vancouver?
You need one for a large-diameter tree, 75 cm or more across measured 1.3 m up on the uphill side, and for any protected tree. Protected trees include trees on steep slopes, near streams, on wetland or waterfront, replacement and heritage trees, and arbutus, Garry oak, Pacific yew, western white pine and yellow-cedar of any size.

Can I remove a big healthy tree in the District?
Usually, yes, with a permit. If your lot would drop below 20% canopy cover, you plant 1 replacement (lots under 420 m²) or 3 (larger lots) per tree, or pay a compensation fee instead.

My tree looks dangerous. What do I need?
A permit to remove a hazardous tree needs a tree risk assessment report from an ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified arborist. Tell us about it and we'll sort out what's needed first.

My neighbour's branches hang over my yard. Can I cut them?
If it's a District tree, you can prune it back to your property line without a permit, as long as you don't damage the tree. For a neighbour's private tree, talk to them first: a protected tree still needs a permit.

What happens if a tree is cut without a permit?
A $1,000 ticket for cutting a protected tree, or a fine of $1,000 to $50,000 per offence on conviction. Removing a large tree without a permit can cost its appraised value, up to $50,000, plus 250% of the compensation fee and two extra replacement trees.
