Tips

  • For most single-family residential building permits, grading information is submitted directly WITH the building permit application — a separate freestanding grading permit is typically only needed for Plan-Level scopes.
  • The Town's Grading Permits webpage lists slightly older flat figures ($200 Statement / $600 Plan Level / $150 pre-application) than the currently adopted Resolution 25-18 Appendix A fee schedule ($212 / $636 / $155 per hour plus a $53 application fee) — the Resolution, effective July 22, 2025, is the more current authoritative source; verify at application time.

Frequently asked questions

In most cases, no — grading (Statement Level) information is submitted as part of the building permit application itself.
