FAQs

How do I get my grading permit?

For Tracts
Once all of the improvement plans have been signed and the bonds are received and all items on the checklist have been completed and the Final Tract Map has been scheduled for City Council, then two approved signed and grading plans will be routed to the Building Department for processing.

For Commercial
The Engineering Department only reviews the grading plans of commercial projects that move more that 5,000 cubic yards of dirt or have street, storm drain and/or sewer improvements also required within the public right-of-way. Once all of the improvement plans have been approved and signed, then two approved and signed grading plans will be routed to the Building Department for processing.
Who do I contact if I want to perform construction in City right-of-way, such as in the street

Any work conducted within the public right-of-way (streets, sidewalk, street parking area, etc.) requires a permit obtained from the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department. You may contact Engineering at engineeringshared@ci.victorville.ca.us or (760) 955-5158 with any questions.
Does someone need to be at the job site for the building inspection?

On minor residential projects such as patio covers, decks and re-roofs where the work can be inspected without entering the occupied portion of the house or garage, the inspection can be performed without the owner or contractor at the job site. If you choose not to be at the job site, be sure to allow access to the area to be inspected, provide a ladder if needed to access the area to be inspected, and make sure that dogs and other animals are secured. In the case of larger projects where the Building Inspector will need to enter the home, an adult aged 18 or older, must be present during the inspection.
