Hillsboro requires property owners to maintain trees for clearance over sidewalks (8 feet) and streets (14 feet).
Property owners must maintain trees for adequate clearance: 8 feet over sidewalks and 14 feet over streets. Trees obstructing sight lines at intersections must be pruned. The city may trim and bill the owner for non-compliance. This tree trimming rule under Hillsboro's landscaping ordinances applies to properties within Hillsboro city limits. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Hillsboro code enforcement directly or consult the official Oregon municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
Failure to maintain clearance results in notices and potential city abatement.
