ZZoonniinngg aanndd PPeerrmmiittss::

Before you plan your project,

learn about the necessary zoning requirements and

rules for excavating and building in your area. No

matter how small your project, be sure you obtain

the necessary permits before you start construction.

Whether you are planning to

do it yourself or hire a professional, smart digging

means calling 811 before each job. Homeowners

often make risky assumptions about whether or not

they should get their utility lines marked, but every

digging job requires a call – even small projects like

planting trees and shrubs.
