After you receive your permit and begin construction, you or
your contractor will need to call for inspections. Depending on
the project, you may need as few as two inspections or as many
as several dozen. The required inspections are listed in each of
the applicable codes, and you will be told which inspections you
need when you pick up your permit.
The work must be ready for the inspection requested at
any time during the day it is requested for. If
it is only anticipated that the work will be ready you should
request the inspection for the following day. Due to the
nature of the inspection process it is very hard to pinpoint a
time when an inspector will arrive. You may call the inspector
on the morning of the day your inspection is scheduled between 8:00
and 8:30 am to get an estimate of what time you can expect
him. The inspectors leave City Hall precisely at 8:30.
When you are ready for an inspection, please call our inspection
request line at 636-9347. You will hear instructions as to how
to place your request. Please have your permit in front of you
when you call. You will also need a list of the Inspection Codes. To print of copy of these codes, please select IVR_June_06
Inspections are performed between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily. If
you place your request prior to 7 a.m. that day, we will make every
attempt to do a same-day inspection. Otherwise, it will be done
the following business day.
The inspector will either approve the work, or write up a correction
notice. The corrections must be completed before another inspection
can be requested. Additional fees may be charged if the same inspection
is called for too many times, and not corrected or if the area
to be inspected was not accessible.
Your permit is valid for 180 days from the date of issuance or
from the date of the most recently approved inspection. As long
as you are continuing to work on your project and calling for regular
inspections, your permit stays active. Once you have received your
final building inspection approval, your permit is finaled and occupancy
is allowed.
Inspectors are available for phone calls 8 - 8:30 a.m. and 3:30
- 4 p.m. Monday - Friday.
