SDCI is developing two new maps to help you understand what commercial tree work is happening in your neighborhood. The maps will include tree-related information collected from issued permits. Tree Public Notice Map: This interactive map will display all SDCI tree public notices for reportable work or tree removal. Tree Tracking Data Map: This map will display tree tracking data gathered from issued permits since the new ordinance went into effect on July 30, 2023. 
The City of Seattle recently adopted new codes and regulations regarding tree protection, tree service providers, and tree public notices. These new regulations help the City balance tree protection and housing production. Trees add value to your property and the surrounding community. Canopy cover is one important measure of the health of the urban forest. Urban trees provide numerous ecological, economic, and social benefits, including wildlife habitat, neighborhood livability, and improved public health outcomes.
SDCI is developing two new maps to help you understand what commercial tree work is happening in your neighborhood. The maps will include tree-related information collected from issued permits.
Tree Public Notice Map: This interactive map will display all SDCI tree public notices for reportable work or tree removal. This map will include filters to display work scheduled for the future and scheduled work beyond the required notice period and that may have already occurred. By entering an address or by navigating within the map and selecting a notice marker, you may view the details of the tree work and link directly to the public notice.
Tree Tracking Data Map: This map will display tree tracking data gathered from issued permits since the new ordinance went into effect on July 30, 2023. The map will identify trees required to be protected, authorized to be removed, and the location and type of replacement trees as represented on the issued and approved plans. This data includes tree information related to approvals granted when development is occurring on the site and when there is no construction occurring on the site.
We plan to release both these maps in March and will provide links to the maps from both the SDCI Trees & Codes webpage and the Seattle Services Portal Trees webpage.
We hope you will find this tool easy to use and that the information is helpful!
