Inspections are required for all work for which a building permit has been issued and the request for the inspection must be made by the applicant as certain stages of construction are complete. The applicant is informed as to when inspections are required at the time the permit is issued. The inspections are conducted using the 2005 National Building Code as a reference. The following is a list of five inspections which are normally conducted during construction of standard homes.

Inspection # 1
Once the footings are in place.

Inspection # 2 "BEFORE BACKFILLING"
Before commencing backfilling of the laterally supported foundation, before a superstructure is placed on the foundation.

Inspection # 3 "BEFORE INSULATION"
After the framing, roofing, plumbing and mechanical are completed.

Inspection # 4 "BEFORE GYPSUM BOARD"
Once the insulation and vapor barrier are installed, but before the wall framing is covered.

Inspection # 5 "BEFORE OCCUPANCY"
On completion of inspection #5, an OCCUPANCY PERMIT will be issued.

NOTE: Please allow at least 48 hours notice for inspections.

(Please be advised that inspections differ for mobile homes.)

NOTE: Civic Address Numbers are issued after the first building inspection is completed.
