Permits & Bylaws in Port Moody

Many Port Moody homeowners just want an honest read on a tree before deciding anything — whether it's storm-stressed, showing early decay, or genuinely fine. A checkup gives you that without triggering a formal report or permit process you may not need yet.

Under the 2026 Tree Protection Bylaw (No. 3531), a permit is required for trees 30cm+ DBH on any property, and for trees 10cm+ DBH in an ESA/riparian zone, of a protected native species, or on a development site. Fee $75 + $370 deposit per tree on ordinary lots ($740 on development sites); no fee for confirmed hazardous trees, which dead trees generally are (permit still required).
