811 LOCATE - CALL BEFORE YOU DIG
Call Before You Dig … Anything
The South Dakota One Call system provides for communication between excavators and underground facility operators so buried utilities can be marked in advance of any digging. This applies to homeowners as well as contractors. By dialing 811 (in state), you are connected directly to the One Call notification system.
Some underground lines on private property are privately owned and may not be marked by a utility. Other underground lines, between a meter and the home or business, may be considered privately owned, in which case a charge by the utility may apply to locate and mark those lines.
Penalties ranging from $1,000 up to $10,000 may apply for failure to call for utility locates as stated in South Dakota Codified Laws 49-7A-18 and 49-7A-19.
Outside of South Dakota call (800) 781-7474. Locate requests are accepted 24/7.

Along with your completed building permit, you need to provide site plans and drawings. For residential permits, plans don’t necessarily need to be professionally created. However, they do need to show lot lines, measurements (Measure from lot lines to structures, and measure between structures). The number of inspections, per project, will be determined after application review.
Contractors
Prior to work commencing, all contractors engaging in services that include the construction, building, installation, or repair of a fixture to real property must have a South Dakota contractor’s excise tax license.
