To request an inspection with Jeff Fortner, City Building Inspector, please call 509-698-7365.
You will be given the first available appointment for the type of inspection you are requesting. Most inspections can be scheduled within 24 hours upon request; however, we can’t guarantee this and we will work to give you the soonest available appointment.
When scheduling an inspection, please have the following information ready:
- What kind of inspection is needed (footing, roof sheathing, rough-in plumbing, final, etc.)
- Street address of the property needing inspection
- Contact person name and phone number
Upon inspection, the approved plans must be available for the inspector to make comparisons with the work that was performed. All inspections require that someone (contractor, homeowner, etc.) be onsite while inspection is being done. Failure to show for the inspection will result in an automatic fail, as we will not conduct the inspection without you on site. This will result in having to pay an additional inspection fee of $78.61 to reschedule.
If there are any corrections to be made, the inspector will leave a “Correction Notice,” outlining the items to be addressed before approval. When corrections have been completed, re-inspections should be scheduled. A re-inspection fee of $78.61 will be charged for the 2nd re-inspection for the same correction/discrepancy.
