Grading Permits

If your project in Dandridge, Tennessee involves land disturbance—like cutting/filling, site leveling, driveway work, or other earth-moving—you’ll typically need a Grading Permit before grading begins.
Dandridge’s Grading Permit Application is used to document the property and scope of work (including parcel/tax map details and other basic project information) and to ensure grading activity is reviewed for local compliance. The form also outlines the permit fees, including a $10 residential grading permit and a $25 commercial grading permit (first acre) with $10 for each additional acre; it also notes that projects over 1 acre may require approval from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). You can find the Grading Permit Application on the Town’s Building & Development resources page and submit it through the Town’s permitting process before starting any site work.
