Building Inspection announces latest improvements
As part of the overhaul of the County’s development-related services, Building Inspection is improving key services. “By offering more permitting services, we are delivering what our customers have asked for,” said Steve Pedretti, Deputy Administrator of Development Services. “While business is down, we’re taking this opportunity to retool and improve our processes.”
Building Inspection now offers the following:
• Track the status of your building permit online at Building Inspection’s website http://www.bldginspection.org/. Click the “Check Permit Status” link and enter your permit number.
• Obtain applications for Building Permits at http://www.bldginspection.org/
• Contractors will soon be able to submit and purchase simple building permits online. These permits will be emailed back to the applicant.
• Express Counter Services at 4101 Branch Center Road 9:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.
• Process less complex permits such as water heaters, electrical service panels, and heating and
cooling system replacements or reroof projects.
• “Frequent flyers” can pick-up or submit plans for corrections quickly
Inspectors are testing field tools to streamline operations, access their daily assignments online, (avoiding driving into the office and then out to the assignment areas), and enter inspection results which will be accessible by customers. Correction notices will soon be submitted remotely and viewed online by the contractor/applicant.
