FAQ
How much does tree removal cost in Salem, OR?
Prices swing wildly. A straightforward drop of a small tree might cost $500, but removing an 80-foot hazard tree hanging over your roof with crane rigging will easily push into the thousands. Beware of the guy with a pickup truck offering to do it for $300. If they aren’t fully licensed and insured and they drop a multi-ton log through your garage, you are paying out of pocket.
Do I need a permit to cut down a tree in my own backyard?
In Salem, usually yes. The city heavily regulates “Significant” trees (typically anything over 30 inches in diameter), “Heritage” trees, and anything sitting within 50 feet of a waterway (a riparian corridor). Even if the tree is dead or hazardous, you often need a city planner or a certified arborist to sign off before a chainsaw ever starts. Removing a protected tree without a permit results in massive fines.
Who handles the trees between the sidewalk and the street?
That strip is city right-of-way. In Salem, the Urban Forestry department owns those trees. You cannot legally remove or heavily prune them, even if they are tearing up the sidewalk in front of your house. If you touch it without permission, the city will come after you for the cost. If it’s a hazard, you have to call Public Works dispatch to inspect it.
Can I cut my neighbor’s tree branches if they hang over my fence?
Under Oregon law, you can trim branches exactly up to your property line, but you cannot cross the line or kill the tree in the process. If the trunk straddles the property line, it’s legally co-owned. We can safely prune back the overgrowth on your side without causing a neighborhood war or a lawsuit.
