Request an Inspection

All inspection requests are handled through the Online Permit Center Portal. Please refer to the following steps for specific details:

NOTES:

• You must be the applicant or a listed contact on the project to request inspections.
• Our inspection team works hard to complete every inspection on the day it was requested for. However, because we receive so many requests, we might not always be able to fit everyone in. If we can’t get to your inspection on the requested day, we typically make sure to reschedule it for the next business day.

1Option: For a Few Projects

2. Go to the My Items list and expand the right service area.
