When do I need to submit the landscape and irrigation plans?
Submit your landscape and irrigation plans for commercial, industrial or streetscape projects when you submit your building plans. Your plans will usually be reviewed and be ready to return within seven (7) days.

When are inspections needed?
Irrigation lines need to be inspected before the trenches are backfilled with soil. The final inspection will take place when the landscaping and irrigation have been completed and you are ready to close out your project.

Do I need to submit Landscape & Irrigation plans for City review if my project is in the City's Sphere of Influence?
Yes, the City is currently reviewing the Landscape & Irrigation plans for all commercial projects that are within the City's Sphere of Influence. The fees associated with the review are payable to the City of Modesto and not to Stanislaus County.

What do I do now that the City has implemented the "One Stop Shop?"
