Answer: Playing in the dirt is certainly not what it once was!
Today, changing your landscaping could mean you'll need to get a grading permit.
A grading permit is an official document which allows a property owner to excavate and otherwise alter ground topography and terrain.
Most states, cities and towns require that permits be taken out for any excavations and earthmoving work planned on a particular project.
In some locations, even farmers must get what is called an "agricultural grading permit" in order to cultivate and grow their crops.
Grading permits are required to ensure that best practices are followed during earthmoving and excavation work, and that groundwater, stormwater, erosion control, and other similar concerns are adequately addressed.
