I just moved into a newly-built home and there is standing water in my yard. Who is responsible for fixing it?
Although a City representative performs a final grade inspection for each new home to ensure compliance with the approved grading plan for the development, the City is not responsible for landscaping or other changes made by the builder or homeowner after the inspection has been completed. All grading issues should be directed to the home builder.
