Inspections

residential inspection

Inspectors make more than 6,000 inspections every month. They ensure that each structure and the plumbing and mechanical systems in the structure are built according to the approved plans and the structure is properly located on the parcel. In addition, inspectors provide information and education to builders needing assistance.

You can request an inspection online or by telephone using the IVR inspection request system.

Inspection Request System Changes

The option to request an inspection for AM (in the morning) or PM (in the afternoon) has been changed in our IVR and Web based inspection request system.

When using the inspection request system you will have the option of leaving a short message for your inspector, for example, a concrete pour time or location of the on-site permit.

This change in our inspection request system began November 1. If you have any questions, please contact the Building Safety Division at (360) 397-2375 ext. 4912. Thank you.
