Tree Removal Permits in Gresham, Oregon
Whether you need a permit to remove a tree in Gresham, Oregon depends on the tree's location and status. Trees in the public right-of-way, street trees, heritage or landmark trees, and trees in protected or riparian zones commonly require municipal approval, while removal of a private yard tree often does not. Confirm current requirements with Gresham municipal offices before scheduling work.
Why it matters
Why this matters for Gresham property owners
You want a tree gone, but you are not sure whether Gresham requires approval first.
Removing a regulated tree without the required permit can mean fines and mitigation requirements that cost far more than the removal itself — and the liability lands on the property owner, not the person holding the saw.
Chad's Affordable Tree Service will discuss what your situation appears to involve and schedule the work around local requirements once you have confirmed them with the city.

Working with us
What Gresham property owners can expect
Free on-site estimates
We look at the tree, the access, and what is around it before quoting, so the price reflects the actual job.
Right equipment for the job
Rigging, climbing, and grinding equipment matched to the tree and the space it sits in, including tight urban lots.
Full cleanup included
Limbs, debris, and grindings are cleared as part of the work — the site is left usable, not left for you.
Clear, direct communication
You speak with the people doing the work about what will happen, in what order, and what the property will look like afterward.
