Tree Codes Are Far-reaching

In the City of Portland, tree codes apply to anyone seeking to subdivide a property or develop it. This includes individuals, businesses, construction companies, and architects involved with the project. By develop, we mean building a structure or subdivision, apartment building, or an ADU. Each of these triggers one or more City Code requirements relating to tree preservation.

The Requirements Vary

In the City of Portland a land division, property line adjustment or the like will require a professional arborist to develop a tree preservation plan. There are various parameters based on the number of trees that are 20" diameter and larger, and requirements regarding the total inches of tree diameter on the property. A Demolition Permit and a Development Permit both trigger additional obligations relating to street tree density and overall tree canopy area, based on the square footage of the property.
