The purpose of a grading plan or permit is to ensure that any grading conducted is done according the the grading plan for a subdivision or to avoid drainage problems. Every proposed new building requires a grading plan to be submitted with the building permit plans. As well as anyone making changes in the earth's topography to an existing property may need a grading permit.

There are three types of Grading Permits. Click on each one to learn more.

• New Construction for Commercial Properties
• New Construction for Residential Properties
• Existing properties making changes in the earth's topography

For more information see City Code Chapter 24 Article II - Grading. If you have further questions please contact the Engineering Department at (651) 430-8830.
