The procedure for determining the agency responsible for issuing tree removal permits along Ash Creek are as follows;
CITY OF TIGARD PERMIT SERVICES 503-718-2426
CLEAN WATER SERVICES 503-718-2426
Contacting these two agencies will determine where the responsibility lies in removing dead or dangerous trees along the creek banks. Trees near the banks of the creek are part of erosion control which is the domain of Clean Water Services. Removing Trees on Association property require review by the City of Tigard Permit Services Department. Once those two agencies are notified of the problem trees a course of action can be implemented.

The City of Tigard would like us to complete a “Tree Removal” permit available online, under permits, or at the City of Tigard office for Permits. They have available maps to help you determine if a permit is needed to remove the tree. If you are not able to determine land ownership at this time, you are advised to contact Gregg Stout at the City of Tigard 503-718-2817 who will be able to help.

I would hate to see the day when someone gets seriously hurt by a fallen tree in our neighborhood that could’ve been prevented by responsible decision making.
I sincerely hope that our neighborhood liability insurance payment has not been cut from the budget that none of us has seen.
