Quick check

Do the main rules appear to fit?

Your answers stay in this page session. The program makes the final decision.

1. Is the property in the official service area or account group?

A city mailing address may not match a utility or watershed boundary.

2. Does the property need one of the approved project routes listed above?
3. Have you checked the approval rule before buying or starting work?

Many programs need before photos, an inspection, or written approval.

Answer each question for a cautious result.

The rules remain visible here even if the interactive check is unavailable.
