SCHEDULING AN INSPECTION

Inspections are scheduled by day and not for a specific time. Inspections will be scheduled for the next day when possible but may be scheduled two days later depending on the availability of inspectors. You may request the inspector to call you an hour in advance of your inspection.

If you need to speak to an inspector concerning Code Related Questions you may call the main office and be transferred to the inspector's cellular phone in the field.
