Permits and Local Rules for Tree Removal in Portland
Portland is not a cut-anything market. Portland requires a city permit to remove any private tree of 12 inches or greater trunk diameter (measured 4.5 feet up), and nearly all street trees need a permit regardless of size. [S2] What that means in practice: confirm whether your trunk falls under the local threshold before a crew is booked, because the fine lands on the owner, not the crew. The full permit picture, with the ordinance language we verified, is on our Portland tree service page.
