Do I need a foundation survey?
  • Foundation surveys (a survey to certify the location and elevation of a structure prior to the framing of a structure) will not be required by the City of New Brighton. Applicants may wish to complete such a survey on their own accord to ensure a proposed structure is located and elevated as proposed to avoid significant future problems before it's too late.
  • Applications for new construction or expansions of existing footprints will be required to provide an as-built foundation survey if one of the following criteria apply:
    • The proposed new construction will be within one foot of any applicable structural setback requirement
    • The proposed new construction is required to be reviewed for its lowest floor opening (flood plain areas)
    • The proposed new construction is being built in conjunction with a variance

If you have questions about the New Brighton Survey Policy, please email Ben Gozola.
