Inspections must be scheduled by 3:30 PM the day before the inspection is needed, or by 3:30 PM on the last business day of the week, if requesting a Monday inspection.

Use the Online Inspection Scheduling button (above). Please provide all requested information and check the box or boxes corresponding with the type of inspection needed.

Multiple inspection types can be requested for the same time.
