Please keep in mind that we are experiencing unusually high volumes of inspection requests, and it may not be possible to get an inspector out until several days after the request.  On the day of your inspection, make sure that the officially signed permit and approved/stamped plans are available at your project site, and that the work for which you called an inspection has been completed.  There is no penalty for cancelling and rescheduling an inspection, provided it is cancelled a day before the scheduled inspection.   A reinspection fee may be assessed for not being ready for the inspection when the city inspector arrives, if nobody is on-site, or if the official permit and/or approved & stamped plans are not readily available.  

Please make inspection requests 24 business hours in advance.

The cut-off time for scheduling inspections is 3PM each day.  Requests made after 3PM will be processed the next business day. When scheduling inspections, it is required to request either an AM or a PM time slot.  Exact times will not be offered. Inspectors will no longer contact those who have requested an inspection to allow them to leave the office sooner in order to accomodate greater numbers of inspections.  Instead, their order of inspections will be posted each inspection day. 

**Please note that the inspection request form is only a request.  You will not be considered scheduled until you receive a confirmation from staff.  Inspections are offered Monday through Friday 8:30AM to 12:00PM & 1:00PM TO 3:00PM. 

Inspection times are AM/PM only.  For example, if your appointment time says "8:00AM," your appointment is between 8:00AM - 12:00PM.  If your appointment says "1:00PM," your appointment is between 1:00PM TO 3:00PM.

To schedule an inspection with the Building Department for a building permit related inspection, please fill out the form below with all of the required information.  An incomplete form cannot be submitted or processed.  Please submit your request a minimum of 24 business hours prior to the requested inspection date. Every effort will be made to accomodate your requested date, but we cannot guarantee that the request will be honored.  Do not assume after submitting the request that the inspection is automatically scheduled.  One of our building staff members will contact you to confirm your requested inspection date or to arrange an alternate date. 

Thank you for your request.  Request(s) does not mean that you are automatically scheduled, but that one of our building division staff members will contact you to confirm your requested inspection date or to arrange an alternate date.
