Final Grade Approval

The following steps are required to obtain Final Grade Approval:

1. The developer, builder, contractor or owner submits the certified As-built Plan (Lot Grading Certificate) to Drainage Planning
2. A lot grading inspector will conduct a visual inspection within 5 working days (depending on workload and weather conditions) to ensure that the lot is graded in accordance with the approved Lot Grading Plan (Surface Drainage Plan)
3. A Lot Grading Inspection Report will be sent to the developer, builder, contractor or owner, indicating that the lot grading has received Final Grade Approval or that deficiencies exist
4. The developer, contractor, builder or owner must correct any deficiency and notify Drainage Planning for a re-inspection within 60 days. Final Grade Approval will be issued with the As-built Plan stamped, signed and dated by lot grading inspector once lot grading meets the requirements

Note: Final Grade Approval will not be given until Drainage Planning receives the original As-built Plan and determines that all fees have been paid.
