Inspection
All building permits require an inspection conducted by our trained, professional inspectors to review:
- footings, foundation, and plumbing
- mechanical, electrical, and structural frames
- insulation, lathe, and drywall
Building inspections ensure construction meets all municipal ordinances and state building codes and new or remodeled buildings are constructed according to the plans approved by the Community Development Department.
