Inspection

All building permits are required to have an inspection.  Building inspections are conducted by our trained, professional inspection staff.  Types of inspections include: footings, foundation, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, structural frame, insulation, lathe, and drywall.

The inspections ensure construction meets all municipal ordinances and state building codes. Inspections also ensure new and remodeled buildings are constructed according to the plans approved by the Community Development Department.

All building inspections are included in the permit fee, so no additional costs will be added for this process.

For building inspection hours, please visit the Hours of Service page.  Overtime inspections may be requested; additional fees apply for overtime inspections. 

For projects requiring Special Inspection, as determined by the project engineer, please see the Special Inspection Package.

Scheduling Process

When work is ready for inspection, the contractor (or person responsible for the specific work) should call the 24-hour automated Voice Permits IVR (interactive Voice Response System) at (209) 937-8560. 

If calling before 4 p.m., the caller may request inspections for the next working day.  Otherwise, calls after 4 p.m. will have inspecitions scheduled for the second working day.
