Building Division - Building Inspections

Each permit has a required number of inspections to be performed. Inspections must be requested by the owner or contractor before proceeding with any phase of construction. Before requesting an inspection, be sure that the "florescent pink" job locator card, depicting the property address and permit number, is posted at the driveway entrance; the "yellow" inspection record card and "approved plans" are located in an accessible location on the job site.

A re-inspection fee may be assessed when the job locator card in not posted; the inspection record card and the approved plans are not on the job site and accessible to the inspector; for failure to provide access on the date for which the inspection is requested; or deviating from the approved plans. No inspection will be performed until the re-inspection fee has been paid at our office.
