Building Inspection Policy

  • All inspections require at least 24-hour notice.
  • Inspections are conducted between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. or 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
  • You may call the inspection number and leave a voicemail request for an inspection. Be sure to leave the job address, type of inspection, time requested, your name, and contact number. You will only be called back if the inspector cannot make the requested time; there is no call back to confirm every inspection request.
  • Work scheduled for morning inspections must be completed and ready for 9:00 a.m.
  • Work scheduled for afternoon inspections must be ready by 1:00 p.m.
  • Work that is not ready must be rescheduled and is subject to a re-inspection fee.
  • The permit applicant is responsible for scheduling all inspections, not the homeowner or the subcontractors.
  • The Inspection Record Card and the approved plans must be available for the inspection. Make sure the card is signed before covering any work.
  • Inspections requiring that the contractor be present, such as air tests and manometers tests, may be requested for a specific time. 
  • The inspector will make every effort to arrive within 30 minutes of the requested time.
