Troutdale requires trees to be trimmed to 7 feet above sidewalks. Street trees require a permit from Troutdale Public Works (Parks Division) before pruning or removal. Private property tree trimming does not require a permit under standard conditions.
Troutdale Code Compliance requires property owners to trim trees overhanging public sidewalks to a minimum of 7 feet above sidewalk grade. Trees overhanging streets should also be managed to maintain safe clearances. Street trees (in public right-of-way) require a permit from Troutdale Public Works Parks Division before any pruning or removal — contact 503-674-7271. Private property trees not in the right-of-way do not require a trimming permit under standard conditions. Trimming in sensitive areas (near Sandy River, floodplain) may require additional review.
Unauthorized removal of protected trees: $500 to $10,000+ per tree. Replacement planting required.
