Inspection Services

Project inspections can be scheduled by calling (360) 491-5642, Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., at least one day in advance of the desired inspection date. You will need to provide the following information:

• the permit number
• the job address
• the type of inspection(s) needed

We cannot designate the exact inspection time, but will note a preference for morning or afternoon if needed by a homeowner. If you need to establish a more precise inspection time, you must call at 8:00 a.m. on the day of your scheduled inspection.

Schedule an inspection online using our Online Inspection and Plan Review Services.

You may also schedule an inspection using the Interactive Voice Response System by telephone by calling (360) 491-3210.  Any inspection entered prior to 11:30 p.m. on the web or IVR will be scheduled for the following business day.

Residential Project Final Inspections: Your project will be considered approved after you have received  a fully-approved Final Building Inspection.

Commercial Project Final Inspections:  Most commercial projects require a Final Building inspection, a Final Electrical inspection, and a Fire Code Final inspection.  Some projects also require a Final Planning Department inspection and a Final Public Works Department inspection. These inspections can be scheduled at the same time by calling our office Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at least one day in advance of the desired inspection date (final inspections cannot be scheduled using the IVR system).  Each department has three business days in which to complete it. Once all applicable departments (Building, Planning, Fire, Public Works) have approved their Final Inspections, a Certificate of Occupancy will be issued.

Trip Fees: If you call for an inspection and are not prepared when the inspector arrives, you may be assessed a $47.00 re-inspection fee.
