Grading Permits

Grading permits are required for large acreage mass grading and excavations. Grading Permits can include erosion control, grading, and tree removal. Grading does not allow for flatwork (paving, sidewalks, slabs, etc.). The City of New Braunfels does not allow for conditional or temporary permits in any regard. Grading permits are required to meet the drainage requirements of the code and require stand-alone, complete plan sets and construction submittals along with drainage reports including mitigation design specific for the intended construction. Use this Grading Permit Application/Checklist to get started.

Once the above items are complete you can submit online using the City's Online Permit Portal.
