Schedule an Inspection

Schedule an Inspection

All inspections are scheduled online using MyBuildingPermit.com with the exception of Fire inspections. See the bottom of this page for Fire inspection request information.

Request Deadlines

Requests for inspections have the following deadlines:

  • Fire (alarm, sprinkler, fire marshal etc): 48 hours in advance
  • Backflow device and Water Quality: 3:00 pm the prior business day. Inspections are only available Tuesdays and Thursdays.
  • All other inspections: 6:00 am the day of the inspection.

Tips Before Scheduling an Inspection

  • Have the permit and any approved plans at the site and available for the inspector.
  • Be ready before the inspector arrives; otherwise, you may be required to reschedule and pay a re-inspection fee.
  • Make sure the work has been inspected before covering it.
  • Any permit may expire; review your permit to determine what the expiration date is.
  • Inspection scheduling is your responsibility.
  • Review the list of inspections on your permit.
  • All inspections associated with a permit must be approved before you schedule the final inspection. The sign-off on your final inspection closes out the inspection process--unless your project requires a certificate of occupancy.
  • On the day of your scheduled inspection, visit MyBuildingPermit's Today's Inspections page to view inspections scheduled in Issaquah for that day.
