Lot Grading Certificates must be submitted to support Final Grade inspections.

Lot Grading Certificates are as-built plans, prepared, certified and sealed by an Alberta Land Surveyor, Professional Engineer, or Professional Technologist, which provide information about the as-constructed grading and drainage of the lot.

This includes design elevations from the approved Lot Grading Plan, existing (as-built) elevations at the time the survey was conducted, the location of buildings, drive lanes, sidewalks, patios, overhangs and other structures within the property, and other important information regarding the grading of the lot. This provides the Lot Grading Inspector with the information required to verify the grading of the lot and helps to identify any problems that may exist.

Review the Commercial Lot Grading Certificate Requirements checklist for more details.

Lot Grading Certificates may be rejected in entirety for lack of critical information, conflicts, unresolved design problems or incomplete submissions and will result in a failed inspection. Additional information and/or revisions may be required at the discretion of the inspector.

Note: As-built information must be displayed on the approved lot grading plan.
