Created in 1917, the Fire/Building Department is staffed by a fully qualified inspector,  certified in all areas of the fire and building codes. An inspector examines both commercial & residential buildings for compliance with all applicable building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, energy, fire and life-safety codes. Office Hours are:  Monday-Friday 8:00AM-4:30PM. Inspections are scheduled Monday-Thursday 8:AM-3:30PM. Once you receive your building permit, follow the list below to schedule inspections:
 

• Call the city offices at: 458-4740, ext. 101 at least 24 hour in advance. Be sure to leave the following info:
•      *Owner’s name
•      *Contractor name (if applicable)
•      *Permit number (located in the upper right-hand corner)
•      *Address of property to be inspected
•      *Type of inspection (ie. Foundation, framing, electrical, etc)

• The building inspection card (job card) and a set of approved plans (stamped “approved” by the Building Department) must be posted at the job site.

• If an inspection is called for and the job is not complete, a re-inspection fee of $98.00 may be imposed.
