Serving Oregon City's Trees Since 1986
Oregon City sits at the confluence of the Willamette and Clackamas Rivers, where mature Oregon white oak and Douglas fir stands have shaped neighborhoods from Hilltop to Park Place to Mountain View for over a century. The terrain mixes river-adjacent properties, hillside lots with steep slopes, and historic neighborhoods with massive heritage-class trees — including the protected stands at Tyrone S. Woods Park and Hazel Grove. North Woods Tree Service has worked across every part of Oregon City for 35+ years, and our crew understands the local terrain, tree species, and municipal tree codes that affect every removal, trimming, and clearing job in the city.

Oregon City Tree Removal Permits — What You Need to Know
Oregon City protects its urban forest through Chapter 12.32 of the Oregon City Municipal Code, which regulates tree removal on city property, non-residentially zoned land, historically designated property, and environmentally sensitive areas. Tree removal in residentially zoned single-family neighborhoods typically does not require a permit — but street trees (trees in the planter strip or public right-of-way) always require a freestreet tree permit from the Oregon City Planning Department. North Woods is familiar with Oregon City's permit process and can help you determine whether your project requires city approval before we start any work. For questions about your specific situation, the Oregon City Planning Department can be reached at 503-722-3789.
Frequently Asked Questions — Oregon City Tree Service
Quick answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners, contractors, and property owners across Oregon City.
-
It depends on the tree's location. In most cases, trees on residentially zoned single-family property in Oregon City do not require a permit. However, street trees (in the public right-of-way), trees on non-residentially zoned property, trees in environmentally sensitive areas, or trees on historically designated land all require a permit from the Oregon City Planning Department. We're happy to help you determine your specific requirements before any work begins.
-
Oregon City's urban forest is dominated by Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), and western red cedar. Many of these trees are mature and require specialized care — particularly the heritage stands at Tyrone S. Woods Park and Hazel Grove. Our crew has decades of experience working with all native Pacific Northwest species.
