About treecheckpdx

treecheckpdx helps Portland homeowners understand whether planned tree pruning or removal may need a permit—without asking them to interpret City code alone.

Our goal is one useful outcome: a personalized permit answer that shows the facts used, links to official sources and gives a clear next action. When information cannot be verified, we say so and point to the City lookup or contact needed to resolve it.

TreeCheck is an independent information service. Guidance is based on your answers and available official information; the City determines permit approval.
