On July 1, Urban Forestry will implement a fully online Tree Removal & Replanting Permit Application process. Applicants submitting via DevHub will no longer have to download, complete, and upload a separate PDF file to process Tree Removal & Replanting applications.
Starting July 1, 2025, most Urban Forestry tree permit fees will be eliminated or significantly reduced, thanks to funding from the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund (PCEF).
