When It Can't Wait

Can You Remove a Dangerous Tree in Portland Without a Permit?

Only the part that is about to fail, and only when there is no time to wait. Here is how Portland handles tree emergencies.

What counts as an emergency

Danger that can't wait for a permit. The city's examples are a tree that suddenly starts uprooting, with cracks opening in the soil, or one that suddenly starts splitting, with fresh white wood showing in the cracks. A dead tree on its own is often not an emergency.

What can come down

Only the dangerous part. A broken limb on an otherwise solid tree means removing the limb, not the tree. A permit application is due within seven days, with photos or an arborist's report as proof. If the city finds there was time to get a permit, the work counts as a violation.

A dead tree that isn't falling yet

Get the permit first. On private property, removing a dead, dying or dangerous tree 12 inches or wider (measured 4.5 feet up the trunk) takes the simplest permit, called Type A: there is no public notice, and the city asks for a replacement tree. Smaller trees usually need no permit, except in some special zones such as the city's environmental zones.

Mr. Gus Duran and his team of pro's are the best Tree Service Company you can do business with in the Beaverton/Portland area. Gus provided us with a very competitive quote, showed up on time and completed the tree removal and stump grinding work in one afternoon. Great work and great customer service all around!

I wouldn't actually be able to tell you how Duran Tree service in terms of actually delivering a service. I exchanged text with a person named Gus and received a quote that seemed fair so on 4/16/2020 I scheduled for them to come to my home Saturday 5/2/2020 at 10 am to take out a tree. I used the online scheduler offered on their website to do this. On the day of the event I made arrangements to be available and had the entire drive way where the tree is located cleared out for their crew and equipment. The morning of the job literally 30 mins before they were supposed to be at my home I got a call from Gus stating that they weren't coming because of covid-19 and then he also complained that my location was a little far away from where he normally works in Hillsboro but I told him I was in north Portland during our text and he received my address when I scheduled the appointment in mid April! He said that he needed to reschedule for during the week. I dont have a problem obviously with a service canceling because of everything that's happening right now, but why not update your websites scheduler so that appointments cant be booked on weekends if your not offering this and furthermore since I scheduled the appointment on 4/16/2020 why not call sometime within that two weeks even just a day or two ahead to let me know you need to reschedule? Totally unprofessional and I suspect the late cancellation had more to do with not wanting to come out on a rainy day than it did with covid-19. If you go to their website right now you can still book for a Saturday. Obviously I did not choose to reschedule because its hard to respect a business that doesn't value the time of others and these folks clearly did not on the day they were scheduled at my house. Side note I did text Gus again later that day (as he requested) and was going to reschedule but it then took him another two days to even get back to me about that, LOL, wow.
