TREE PERMITS AND TREE BYLAWS IN NORTH VANCOUVER
We have complied some info below about tree removal permits, protected trees and tree preservation bylaws in West Vancouver and North Vancouver City and District.
City of North Vancouver Tree Bylaws
Regulated by Tree Bylaw No. 8888, 2022.
What is protected: Any tree with a DBH of 20 cm or greater, plus any tree previously planted as a replacement tree. The bylaw's coverage depends on your property's zoning, and several single-family and two-family residential zones sit outside it, so confirm your zoning with the City before you assume either way.
Getting a permit: You will need a certified arborist's assessment, and depending on the situation a site plan or survey, an arborist report, a tree protection plan and a tree replacement plan. Removed trees must be replaced, and at least one replacement must be a conifer.
Emergencies: A tree posing an imminent risk to life or property from natural causes can be cut without a permit first, then reported.
Penalties: Fines up to $50,000.

District of West Vancouver Tree Bylaws
Regulated by the Tree Bylaw, amended by Bylaw No. 5373, 2025, effective December 15, 2025.
What is protected:
- Any tree 75 cm DBH or greater, or a multi-stemmed tree with a combined stem DBH of 75 cm or more.
- On a parcel being developed, that threshold drops to 20 cm DBH. This applies to parcels getting at least one new residential or commercial building, or being subdivided to create a new residential lot. A parcel counts as "being developed" from the day a building, demolition or development permit is applied for until the building permit is closed.
- Any replacement, retained or heritage tree.
- Any tree in a Watercourse Protection Area or Foreshore Protection Area.
- Arbutus, Garry oak, Pacific yew, Pacific dogwood, yellow cedar, and shore pine within the protected shoreline area, over 20 cm DBH.
- Any tree with an active bird nest, or any nest of an eagle, peregrine falcon, gyrfalcon, heron, osprey or burrowing owl whether active or not.
Getting a permit: You need an arborist report setting out the work and the rationale, then the Private Property Tree Cutting Permit application submitted through the District's Document Upload Centre. As of the 2025 Fees and Charges Bylaw the fee is $330, plus $120 for each additional tree. Review usually takes two to three weeks. A security deposit may be required, one replacement tree is required for every protected tree removed, and the permit has to be posted on site and visible from the street while the work happens.
Worth knowing: West Vancouver does not grant permits to cut protected trees purely to improve a view. If you are redeveloping, protected trees outside the permitted building envelope generally have to stay, except where needed for driveway access and garage placement.

District of North Vancouver Tree Bylaws
Regulated by Tree Protection Bylaw No. 7671, 2012. Despite the shared name, the District's rules are noticeably different from the City's, so check which side of the line your address falls on.
What is protected:
- Any tree 75 cm (30") DBH or larger, measured 1.3 m above ground.
- Any tree, at any size, that is within a streamside protection area, on a slope greater than 30%, on waterfront or wetland, or on District land including parks and boulevards.
- Heritage trees, wildlife trees and replacement trees.
- Arbutus, Garry oak, Oregon ash, Pacific yew, western white pine and yellow cedar.
Getting a permit: Start with an arborist report submitted to the District. A District arborist inspects the tree, and the permit follows if it is approved.
Penalties: Fines from $1,000 to $50,000 per offence, per day.
