Beaverton's Trusted Tree Service Since 1986
Beaverton is Washington County's largest city and one of the Portland metro's most established Westside communities — a mix of older established neighborhoods, dense suburban housing, and growing commercial corridors. Beaverton regulates its urban forest primarily through Ordinance 3979, with a dedicated Urban Forestry Maintenance Division that cares for street trees and public trees. Here's the practical reality: most private property tree removals in Beaverton don't require a permit — but every street tree requires a permit, regardless of size, and trees in protected zones can carry permit fees from $75 to $1,000. Tree work here means navigating tight suburban access, mature canopy in established neighborhoods, and the city's street tree replacement requirements. North Woods has worked Beaverton and the surrounding communities — Five Oaks, Cedar Hills, Aloha, West Slope, Raleigh Hills, Murray Hill — for 35+ years.

Beaverton's Tree Code — What You Need to Know
Beaverton regulates its urban forest primarily through Ordinance 3979, with the city's dedicated Urban Forestry Maintenance Division handling street trees and public trees. Here's the practical breakdown: most private property tree removals do NOT require a permit in Beaverton — which makes it one of the more relaxed permit environments in the Portland metro. However, all street tree removal requires a permit under city code, applying to single-family homes, apartments, and commercial buildings alike — and removal of an approved street tree typically requires planting a replacement tree in compliance with city standards. Trees in protected zones (natural resource buffers, sensitive lands, geologic hazard areas) can require a permit with fees ranging from $75 to $1,000. Beaverton also has specific clearance standards for trees in the public right-of-way: 14 feet over arterial roadways, 12 feet over other streets, 8 feet over sidewalks. Emergency tree removal in the right-of-way is allowed when a tree presents an imminent risk of bodily injury or property damage. North Woods handles the entire street tree permit process and protected-zone applications for our Beaverton customers. For permit questions, the Beaverton Planning Division can be reached at 503-526-2420, or the Urban Forestry Maintenance Division at 503-526-3724.

Frequently Asked Questions — Beaverton Tree Service
Quick answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners, contractors, and property owners across Beaverton.
-
It depends on the tree's location. Most private property tree removals in Beaverton do NOT require a permit — making it one of the more relaxed permit environments in the metro. However, all street tree removal requires a permit, applying to single-family homes, apartments, and commercial buildings alike. Trees in protected zones (natural resource buffers, sensitive lands, geologic hazard areas) may also require a permit. We help every customer determine exactly what's required before any work begins.
-
Under Ordinance 3979, removal of any street tree (located in the public right-of-way) requires a permit from the city. The Urban Forestry Maintenance Division reviews street tree applications, and in most cases, approval requires planting a replacement tree in compliance with the city's standards. We handle the entire street tree permit process for our Beaverton customers — application, documentation, and replacement planning.
-
Beaverton requires permits for trees in protected zones — natural resource buffers, sensitive lands, geologic hazard areas, and similar designated zones. Permit fees for protected zone work can range from $75 to $1,000 depending on the situation. The Planning Division can verify whether your property has any protected zones. We coordinate the permit process for these special situations.
-
Emergency removal of right-of-way trees is allowed in Beaverton when a tree presents an imminent risk of bodily injury or property damage. You can act first when necessary to avoid an imminent injury — but proper notification and post-removal documentation still matter. Call (503) 656-5802 for urgent service. Most emergencies get same-day or next-day dispatch.
