Roadside Tree Vegetation Management

The Roadside Tree and Vegetation Management Program helps to educate property owners of their responsibilities to care for trees and vegetation growing in or into the public right-of-way. Through this program, staff also trim in locations with no adjacent property owner, where the City is the adjacent property owner, or where services are being affected.

Pavement Management

Properly planned pavement maintenance and repair help extend the life of existing pavement. Through the City’s Pavement Management program the City visually inspects roadways to assess their condition and determine where pavement maintenance is needed.

  • Every major roadway is inspected annually
  • Local streets are inspected once every three years

Transportation Utility Fee

The Transportation Utility Fee (TUF) is a monthly fee assessed to City of Hillsboro residents’ utility bill. The fee helps offset rising maintenance costs to fund roadway operations and maintenance as well as the annual pavement management program.
