BUILDING INSPECTION FAQ's

What inspections does the City require?

Every permit issued by the Building and Safety Division receives an Inspection Record document that identifies the type of inspection approvals needed based on the scope of work and permit type. All applicable items on the inspection record will need an inspection before the work is covered. Other inspections required are identified by the plan design professionals based on proposed work. If you have any questions specific to your project, please contact the Building Inspector for clarification.

What time are inspections performed?

Inspections are conducted Monday through Thursday. 

Inspections are scheduled in one of the following 3-hour arrival windows:

  • 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
  • 11:00 am - 2:00 pm, or
  • 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm

We cannot guarantee that requests for a specific time frame will be honored.

Inspection time frames for the next business day are posted on the Building Division page at 5:00 pm.
