What Portland HOA Boards Should Know
In addition to Oregon law, Portland associations must consider local ordinances and regulations concerning trees, home sales, and older buildings.
Tree Removal Permits
Generally, you need a permit to remove a private tree 12 inches or more in diameter. Tree diameter is measured 4.5 feet above the ground. A permit is typically required to remove any street tree.
For your board: check city requirements before removing trees from common areas or streets.
Large Tree Protections
Removing a healthy, non-nuisance private tree that measures 20 inches or more generally requires a Type B permit. Removing more than four healthy regulated trees in a year can also trigger Type B review. For development projects, Portland generally requires at least one-third of regulated trees that measure 12 inches or more to be preserved. For development projects, trees that measure at least 20 inches generally must be preserved or mitigation must be provided.
For your board: include tree review early when planning major landscaping, construction, or redevelopment of common areas.
Home Energy Scores
In Portland, homes that are publicly advertised for sale must have a Home Energy Score and Report before listing. The score ranges from 1 to 10, with a higher number representing better expected energy performance.
For your board: homeowners preparing to sell may ask about these requirements. Make sure association guidance clearly distinguishes between Portland’s disclosure rules and HOA resale requirements.
Seismic Requirements for Older Buildings
A seismic evaluation or upgrade may be triggered by certain renovations, changes in occupancy, repair costs, or other major work.
For your board: older condo buildings should check seismic requirements before approving major renovation projects.
