Building Inspections

To arrange for a building inspection, please call 746-3165 and leave a detailed message quoting your file number and indicate you require an inspection.  A representative from the Building Department will attempt to contact you within the same day or the following business day.  (A minimum of 48 hours is required to schedule an inspection.)  To arrange for a building inspection, please call 746-3165 and leave a detailed message quoting your file number and indicate you require an inspection.  A representative from the Building Department will attempt to contact you within the same day or the following business day.  (A minimum of 48 hours is required to schedule an inspection.)


Building Permits

To apply for a building permit, we prefer to meet with you in person.  Our building inspectors ask that you make an appointment in advance so they are able to give you their undivided attention while you fill out the application together.  We find this affords both you and the inspector the opportunity to get all the details straight before you begin your project.  We have three building inspectors available to assist you.  Please call 250-746-3165 for an appointment.

Building Department
