Building Inspections

Inspections are required after obtaining a building, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical permit.  When the permit is issued, you will be informed of the required inspections for your project.  When the work is ready for inspection, you may schedule through OpenGov portal or call the 24 HOUR Inspection Request Line (559) 891-2220.

Provide the following information:

Your request must be made before 3:30 PM  through OpenGov Portal or by calling the inspection line for an inspection to be done on the following day. Inspections are generally between the hours of 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM. If you need to speak to the inspector before the inspection, feel free to call (559) 891-2208 between the hours of 8-5 pm. 

In order to perform the inspections in an efficient manner, please remember:
