Someone can give me a few loads of dirt to level off my yard--do I need a grading permit?
Yes. In fact, you will probably need a grading plan, though it may not have to be very detailed. Often the Engineering Department can provide a contour map of your property and discuss the work with you to verify that there will not be any impacts to you or adjacent properties. You may be required to post a refundable cash escrow to ensure establishment of vegetation in the disturbed areas.
