Structural BMPs Annual Verification
Welcome to the County of San Diego's stormwater Structural Best
Management Practices (SBMPs) page.
Annual Inspection or Self-Verification Programs
The County of San Diego is required to verify that structural BMPs on your property are properly maintained and functioning effectively before the rainy season begins.
Between July and October, the County will either schedule an on-site inspection or request an in-office verification.
High Priority Inspections Program
For high-priority BMP sites, a Watershed Protection Program
representative will contact you annually to schedule an on-site
inspection. Failure to maintain your BMPs properly may result in
an enforcement investigation or a follow-up inspection by a County
representative.
Self-Verification Documentation Program
For medium-priority BMP sites, the Watershed Protection Program sends you an annual letter with guidance on inspecting, maintaining, and documenting your structural BMPs.
Submit your verification through the Self-Verification Portal or by email. Our inspectors will then conduct an in-office verification to confirm compliance.
In accordance with Section 67.812(b) of the County Code of
Regulations, if property owners do not respond to the
notification to verify maintenance of their stormwater structural
BMPs, the County may initiate an enforcement investigation or
follow-up inspection.
