Grading & Drainage Permits

Permits and Inspections are done by the Public Works Department. Many building projects require Grading & Drainage Permits before you may begin construction. When in doubt please contact the Public Works Department to verify.

Keep Your Dirt!

Muddy water leaving your construction site is a red flag that is sure to get the attention of inspectors. Avoid work delays and fines. Keep your dirt onsite by implementing effective best management practices (BMPs).

• Install erosion and sediment controls properly at the beginning of construction
• Clear the smallest area possible in which to complete your work and keep as much of the existing vegetation as possible
• Stabilize disturbed soil areas immediately after final grading
• Divert storm water away from your disturbed areas
• Slow down storm water runoff before it leaves your site
• Install gravel entrance to minimize tracking of dirt onto roadways
• Maintain BMPs throughout your project.
