Once your permit is issued, you may request inspections through OpenGov, our online portal. Once you open the permit, click the inspection group for your permit type at the left. Building Inspections must be requested at least one day in advance. Please choose all desired inspection types for that appointment date at the same time. No additional inspections may be requested on a project until the requested inspections for that date have been completed.
Work to be inspected must be ready at the time the inspection is requested. Please see our Residential Inspection Checklist(PDF, 500KB) for a partial list of what is expected at various stages of construction. Failure to be ready for the requested inspection may result in a $300.00 reinspection fee. Inspections are performed between the hours of 7:30am and 3:00pm Monday through Friday. If you have questions regarding the estimated time of arrival on the jobsite, or questions regarding code requirements for your project, you may speak to your inspector by calling Building Safety between the hours of 7:00am to 7:30am.
You must receive an approved inspection at least every 180 days, showing substantial progress, or your permit may expire. In the event a project is justifiably delayed, you may apply for a six-month extension, which must be submitted through the OpenGov online portal and approved by Building Safety. A second six-month extension, upon expiration of the first, may also be available by the same process.
