A Unfortunately, you won’t be able to put in fence posts until the final grade has been approved by the Municipality of Anchorage. Typically, homes that have only CCO approval require work to be completed by Aug. 15. The actual date will vary by subdivision due to frost depths and scheduling. We try our best to get this work completed as soon as the ground thaws.Your patience is greatly appreciated. If your one of our Washington homeowners your weather allows more flexibility.
