Construction Contracts Oregon Forestry In Wake

Q: What is the tree law in Oregon?

Oregon&#039;s neighbor tree law clarifies property boundaries: a tree on one owner&#039;s land, even spanning the property line, belongs to them. For a tree solely on your property, the decisions are yours. Joint ownership arises when a tree&#039;s trunk straddles a boundary line, sharing upkeep decisions and costs.
