All inspections must be requested online by 5 p.m. for the next business day.
Inspection requested after 5 p.m. will be scheduled in two business days or the next available business day thereafter. Due to a high volume of inspections we cannot guarantee that all inspections will be completed on their requested date.
Inspections are required at certain milestones in the construction permit process. When you want your next inspection, you can request one online. If an inspection is made and the work is not approved, you must make the necessary corrections before continuing any further construction activity. Work may be stopped at any time for non-compliance to codes and/or approved plans. For civil inspections, please contact your Civil Inspector.
