Grading permits are required for earthwork over 50 cubic yards or on slopes over 10%, with drainage plans preventing runoff onto neighboring properties.
Sandy grading ordinance requires permits for excavation or fill exceeding 50 cubic yards, any cut or fill over 3 feet deep, or work on slopes over 10%. Engineered drainage plans must show runoff directed away from neighbors and into approved facilities, not allowing concentrated flow across property lines. Retaining walls over 4 feet require structural engineering. Post-construction grading must match approved plans verified by survey.
