Do I need a permit from the City to plant, prune or remove a tree?

A Street Tree Work Permit is required for planting, major pruning, or removing a tree from the City right-of-way. In most cases a tree in the right-of-way will be located in the parkway between the side walk and the curb. There is no charge for the permit, the purpose of the permit system is to make sure we plant the right tree in the right place, prune correctly without damging the tree, and replace trees removed if there is adequate space. Contact the Urban Forestry Divison to obtain a Street Tree Work Permit; phone 541-663-1952.
