Inspections

Inspections are required for all permits. An inspection record card will be issued to identify the required inspections for each project. These cards contain important information about the job and are used to record completed inspections. Inspection record cards must remain available to the inspector and be on the job site until the final inspection has passed.

City inspectors will inspect a project several times during construction for items such as footings, framing, insulation, final building inspections, including all plumbing, and mechanical work.
