An independent consultant assessed both work groups’ budgets, staffing and workflows. Several service-level scenarios prepared by the consultant were reviewed. To achieve customer service/turn-around times desired by both customers and staff, additional staffing is required. Existing low staffing levels are not sustainable for either employees or our customers, who are sometimes having to deal with unacceptable turnaround times.
Key recommendations from this assessment included:
A 50% fee increase to:
Provide the minimum staffing needed to meet desired service levels.
Close the gap between costs and revenue
Annual fee adjustments to address ongoing program cost increases beginning July 1, 2024.
A technology fee on permits/applications to fund technology systems operations and updates beginning July 1, 2024.

The County does not regulate tree removal on private properties unless the trees are located in County-designated Significant Natural Resource (SNR) areas. Email LUTdev@washingtoncountyor.gov to determine if the trees are in an SNR area before removing them.
In all other areas, tree removal is typically at the discretion of a property owner and does not require a permit unless removal impacts traffic. Visit Planting or Removing Street Trees.
Neighboring property owners who disagree with tree maintenance/removal may be eligible for free mediation services through Beaverton Center for Mediation and Dialogue(Link is external) (east of 185th Avenue) or Hillsboro Mediation Program(Link is external) (west of 185th Avenue).
