COVID-19 Response
The Building Division’s COVID response continues to provide inspection services to your projects with a few changes in service to ensure protection for you, your customers, and our staff.
- Inspections are primarily conducted in the AM.
- In occupied buildings, all parties will need to wear approved masks during the inspection and maintain 6-feet distance.
- Due to staff availability, we will be limiting the number of inspections in a day and may need to roll inspections over to another business day.
We understand these changes impact your projects and we tried to develop safeguards that can allow us to continue to provide inspections while minimizing impacts to your projects.
