The bond remains in effect until the Department of Building and Safety is satisfied that the permit conditions are complete, evidenced by an approved Grading Certificate.
Who needs it
A principal applying for a Beverly Hills grading permit for excavation or fill work, and the surety providing the bond, complete and sign this form.
Why it needs a notary
