Coordinate city permits and SAWS plan review.
SAWS describes its irrigation plan review as separate from city permitting, with operational inspections for newly constructed systems in 2026. Commercial plan routing differs according to jurisdiction, so identify the address and supplier before setting an installation schedule.
Provide the final planting and hardscape layout together with the irrigation brief. Establish who submits plans, coordinates inspection, and supplies the owner with operating and maintenance information. For a commercial site, allow time for manager training and access to controllers. Do not treat approval of one part of the project as approval of every irrigation requirement.
Local reference: SAWS irrigation plan review and inspection guidance. Confirm requirements for your address and scope with the responsible authority.
