How it works
A careful answer, not a guess.
TreeCheck PDX keeps the path practical: the right questions first, official sources visible and a clear action at the end.
- 01
Start with the property
Share the address so the available property information can be reviewed. If a record cannot be verified, you will get a manual confirmation step instead.
- 02
Tell us about one tree
Choose pruning or removal, where the tree stands and only the details that matter for your situation.
- 03
Get a clear next action
See the permit status, supporting facts, unresolved questions and official sources in a compact result.
Free guidance first
Know what needs attention before you make a plan.
The basic answer includes your permit direction, official links and essential next steps. A $9 Permit Prep Report is available when the details support a useful preparation checklist.
- Official-source links and a clear next action
- Measurement guidance only when it matters
- Unresolved questions stay visible
