Schedule an Inspection

You may schedule a building inspection by calling 801-568-7251. You must have the permit number, addressb and the type of inspection needed.

Building inspections are generally made during business hours:
Monday through Friday
8 am to 5 pm

At a minimum, you should call at least 24 hours in advance to the desired inspection date.

Projects Requiring Inspection

All new construction and all remodels are required to obtain a building inspection. The purpose of a building inspection is to verify compliance with the minimum safety standards set forth in the adopted building codes.

What an Inspection Entails

A successful building inspection does not guarantee:

Good workmanship
Perfectly level counter tops
Proper paint colors

However, a successful building inspection does mean that your home or commercial space does:

Ensure that the building was built to the structural specifications as shown on the approved building plans
Meet standards to ensure your safety
Provide proof to insurance agencies that all work was done with a permit and to the minimum safety requirements (sometimes required to process a claim in the event of fire or other loss)

At the inspection, the Building Inspector will review all work done, compare it to the approved plans or building code (as applicable) for compliance, and issue an inspection report. The report will either "pass" the inspection, or will contain a list of necessary corrections that must be completed prior to a re-inspection. The inspection reports are kept on file with the permit and are not destroyed.
