Tree Replacement Reimbursement Form
If you have received a Type ‘A’ Tree Removal Permit, you qualify for reimbursement from the City’s Tree Fund for a replacement tree.
The City of Wilsonville offers reimbursement for a replacement tree to any Type ‘A’ Tree Removal Permit grantee who buys and plants a tree and provides the appropriate documentation. Applicants can receive up to $100 per person per year from the City’s Tree Fund. In order to receive reimbursement you must:
- Receive approval of a Type ‘A’ Tree Removal Permit from the City.
- Buy and plant a new tree of a similar nature (evergreen for evergreen, deciduous for deciduous) on the permit grantee’s property.
- Submit a copy of the receipt for the new tree to the City’s Planning Division. Include a photo, or identification of the species of tree, location the tree was planted, and your name and mailing address.
The City will mail you a check for the reimbursement.
The City is interested in providing a diversity of tree species throughout the City that are healthy and the right size for the location where they are to be planted, and has a list of recommended trees to choose from. The purpose of the tree fund replacement program is to encourage canopy and wildlife habitat citywide. The City will not reimburse for small ornamental trees (<20’ mature height), shrubs (i.e. arborvitae, or rhododendron), or specialized plant material such as topiary or espaliered trees. All trees shall be well-branched and typical of their type. 1”-2” caliper deciduous trees or 5’-8’ tall evergreens are preferred.
If there are any questions about the Tree Fund Replacement Program, please contact the Wilsonville Planning Division at 503-682-4960.
