ROUTINE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PERMIT
SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
Published : 1/5/2022
PURPOSE
Routine Vegetation Management Permits ensure compliance with regulations for the clearing of land and the protection
and preservation of trees and significant vegetation.
ELECTRONIC FILE STANDARDS
All documents MUST be submitted electronically. Specific file naming conventions for submitted plans are required to
facilitate the electronic plan review process. Failure to adhere to the sample file naming format listed in the Electronic File
Standards may result in a request for resubmittal and/or delay the plan review process, deeming the application
incomplete.
COMPLETE APPLICATION REQUIRED
In order to accept your application, each of the numbered items must be submitted at the same time. Determination
that an application is complete indicates only that the application is ready for review on its merits, not that the City will
make a favorable decision on the application.
APPLICATION SUBMITTAL HOURS
Applications should be submitted to Planning Division staff electronically, not in person. Please email or call your assigned
Project Manager to submit your application. If you have any Planning related questions you may reach out to Planning
Customer Service at 425-430-7294 or planningcustomerservice@rentonwa.gov .
TIME FRAME
The Administrator will review your request for a routine vegetation management permit and issue a written decision
typically within a week or two from submittal. A public hearing is not required unless there is an appeal filed.
ADDITIONAL PERMITS
Additional permits from other agencies may be required. It is the applicant’s responsibility to obtain these other approvals.
Information regarding these other requirements may be found at https://apps.oria.wa.gov/opas/
SOME KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER
1. City Staff or other agencies may request additional information during the review and decision-making process.
