REQUEST FOR INSPECTION

This automated system provides 24-hour access to inspection and permit information. You may:

1-Schedule inspections: After a permit is issued, you may request an inspection for the next day or up to five working days ahead. You may select automatic telephone notification of inspection results when you request your inspection. You will receive a confirmation number if requested.

2-Obtain inspection results: Results are available the day the requested inspection is completed.

3-Cancel inspection requests: Allows inspections requested through this automated system to be cancelled. Cancellations on the day of the scheduled inspection will be directed to administrative personnel to cancel your requested inspection.

4-Check permit status: Determine the approval status of your permit and, if not approved, which agency has not yet approved it.

To access the system, simply call: (410) 313-3800 and follow the instructions provided.
