StreetsLA receives application and responds to applicant via email or phone. No pre-inspection is required.
Feedback
Corrections may be issued and often other departments are involved, specifically DCP, LADBS and LADOT (traffic control plan / haul route).

Application Denied
IED will deny the permit if appropriate conditions are not met.
NOTES: This permit is usually for export when excavating multiple stories for parking and is closely tied to Hillside Ordinance areas. It is used when traversing hillsides or when required by City Planning (DCP). Work in the “flats,” and 90% of construction jobs overall, do not require an Import and Export of Earth Materials Permit.
