Online Building Inspections Scheduling
- Please read the FAQs on CSS online procedures before registration.
- Requests to schedule building inspections may now be made and tracked on the citizen self-service (CSS) portal for all permit types*
- Once an inspection request is submitted online, please check the Dashboard frequently for updated status.
*Please note that while CSS allows requests for inspection on a specific day and in the AM or PM, the inspection will be conducted on the actual scheduled day during normal business hours but not at a predetermined time. Due to current Staffing levels and high inspection volume, Building Inspections may be subject to a two to three-business-day lag time from the date requested. Terrain Management Inspections may be subject to a three to five-business-day lag time from the date requested. Please plan requests accordingly.
