 I agree, this is DIY or pay way too much, tree permit link is below:

Thank you Brady definitely something to consider. I'm not local but may be worth a trip and 1 week off clearing the lots if I can save some money. What's that YT channel called? 

 do you have a tree schedule? there are two types of clearing. Brush and large trees. Two different companies. those lots aren't that big but if you have thick timber it's going to be hard. Call 4-5 companies, meet with 3, go with best quote. Ask them what equipment they have. You want someone with a dump truck, bobcat, and excavator. 

OP do you have pictures?  Could be $5,000 per property up to $20,000 per property.  

1. Check do any tree coverage rules with the City.  

2.  Survey property to make sure it is your tree no matter the fence line.  

3. Locate sewer, old septic tanks,  and water lines.  

4.  Look at water flow path on and of the property.  Don’t divert location without neighbor permission. 

5.  If you like having fun, rent a midsize excavator dig out one side and push.  Make sure you have insurance.  Or if you get someone make sure they have insurance.  

6.  Can you burn?  Can you put a free sign for firewood.  Cut to logs and move near access.  See if you can sell large logs to Pallet company.  They will cut and haul off. 

7.  Where is a dump or recycling center?  This will determine a lot of your cost.  

8. If in the right place your property will be worth more with some trees.  

Hey Andrew I've got a few architects that could work for this but try this firm. They specialize in cost effective schematic planning:
