When a record or tree boundary is unclear, TreeCheck PDX tells you exactly what to confirm next.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Tell us about one tree

    Choose pruning or removal, where the tree stands and only the details that matter for your situation.

  3. 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
