INSPECTION DEPARTMENT

     The Inspection Department's purpose is to protect the health, welfare, and property of its citizens through the proper enforcement of adopted building codes.  The Inspection Department enforces the International Building Code, 2006 edition; International Mechanical Code, 2006 edition; International Plumbing Code, 2006 edition; International Fuel Gas Code, 2006 edition; International Swimming Pool Code, 2006 edition; International Residential Code, 2006 edition; National Electrical Code, 2008 edition; International Fire Code, 2006 edition; NFPA 1 Fire Prevention Code, 2006 edition; and the NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, 2006 edition.

     Once a permit application is received all building plans are reviewed for compliance with building codes prior to issuing any permits.  Construction projects require foundation, rough-in, and final inspections.  After contractors and sub-contractors have purchased a business license, all inspections have been completed, and any required corrections have been made, a certificate of occupancy will be issued.
