Inspections
Inspections are an integral part of each building permit. Inspectors ensure compliance with the current codes in the field and confirm the structural integrity of the building. Specialized inspectors perform detailed review of various systems, such as the air conditioning, electrical wiring and plumbing.
To schedule an inspection, or to find the result of an inspection, you can go to the Accela Citizen Portal or call our automated inspection line: (855) 941-4636.
The inspection cut off time is Monday – Friday at 3 p.m. for next business day inspections.
For more detailed information regarding the inspections for a single family house, please look at our Inspection Guide(PDF, 219KB).
