Tree Permit Assistance
Obtaining a permit can be confusing and frustrating. The best way to learn more about this requirement is to contact your urban forestry department directly. We are lucky in the valley and through out Oregon to have well qualified professionals in these positions. Over the years Buena Vista Arbor Care has developed a respectful working relationship with each city.
You may need a permit to:
- Perform a large tree removal
- Construct new buildings around existing trees
- Sell Logs (ODOF)
- Remove trees for a building lot
- Remove street trees
- Prune street trees
