Residential Permits

APPLICANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING SIDEWALK AND GRADING
The  Sidewalk and Grading Permit is issued for any work performed within a platted subdivision. It is intended  to have an expedited process since subdivisions are required to have planned drainage when initially developed. The Sidewalk  & Grading Permit verifies that your development plans do not change the planned drainage of the subdivision.
​
