The process for obtaining a grading permit for grading that was done without a permit ("as-built") is the same as the process for obtaining a normal minor grading permit or major grading permit. However, as-built grading permits may incur violation fees in addition to grading permit fees. If an as-built grading permit is issued, the area subject to the as-built grading permit must be excavated and soil removed and/or replaced, as directed by a licensed engineer. This allows the engineer to evaluate the grading and ensure that it meets all county requirements. Additionally, mitigation measures may have to be performed, if the as-built grading permit is also subject to a land use permit.
If an as-built grading permit cannot be issued, the property may need to be partially or completely restored to its original state.
