Inspection Procedure

Once your permit is picked up and paid for, the inspection process begins.

 

• The inspections required for your project will be listed on your permit.  It is the permit applicant's responsibility to schedule inspections (SPS 320.10.) 

• All permit applications require a final inspection before occupancy. Occupancy includes the storage of personal or business belongings, items, equipment etc.

• Construction may not proceed beyond the point of inspection until the inspection has been completed.   

• It is the permit applicant's responsibility to make sure the inspection has been completed.  An inspection report will be emailed to the address on file.  If you do not receive the inspection report, do NOT proceed until you have it. 

• Inspection requests MUST be made from this website. We do not accept emailed requests or phoned in requests.

• Inspections must be made by 12 pm the day before the inspection is wanted, anything requested for the following day  after the 12pm cut-off time will automatically be moved to the next business day.

• Only one inspection will be done per property per day so coordinate your subcontractor inspections (framing and RI's, in-floor and poly etc.)

• All preceding inspection types must be approved before requesting a following inspection (i.e. the framing and RI's inspection must be approved before requesting an insulation inspection, etc.)  Exception:  A wall inspection request may be made before the footing is approved for new houses.

• If you are not ready for the inspection during the scheduled window of time, you will be charged a "not-ready" fee.
