Structural BMPs
Welcome to the County of San Diego's stormwater Structural Best
Management Practices (SBMPs) page.
Annual Inspection or Verification
The County of San Diego is required to verify that the BMPs on your property are properly maintained and functioning effectively before each rainy season (July - October).
To do this, the County will either schedule an on-site
inspection or request an in-office verification.
High Priority Inspections
For high-priority BMP sites, a County 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.
Structural BMP Verification
The Watershed Protection Program will send you an annual letter providing general guidance on how to inspect and maintain your BMPs. You can submit your BMP verification through the Self-Verification Portal or via email.
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.
