Do I get a grading permit from the Contra Costa County Building Department?

No. The Town Council adopted a Grading Ordinance for the Town of Moraga (Moraga Municipal Code Title 14) on July 26, 2006. Review, approval and inspections for grading are done by the Town’s Engineering Department; however, depending on the slope of the property, a grading permit may require approval by the Design Review Board, Planning Commission or Town Council.
