Preparing for the Soil/Site Evaluation

  • Make sure the email and phone number submitted is the best way to reach the APPLICANT
  • Stake, flag, or paint all proposed structures (house box, sheds, swimming pools, decks, patios or other structures)
  • Mark all property lines and corners clearly and visible above vegetation. If property lines cannot be verified, it may be necessary for the property to be surveyed and will delay the evaluation along with a return trip fee
  • Vegetation that is too thick to determine topography may have to be bush-hogged or thinned out.
  • Failure to prepare the site may cause delays in permitting and will result in a return trip fee
Please check that you agree before continuing.
By continuing I agree that I am willing to complete a digital version of the document(s) and that information about my user session will be stored.
