Inspection Requests

Inspections must be booked prior to 8pm on the business day before the desired inspection appointment. A limited number of inspection appointments are available each day, so booking an inspection as early as possible is recommended. The booking system will display the next available appointment day. 

Fire Inspections will occur on Tuesdays only.  All inspection requests must be submitted by 12PM Friday to be scheduled for the following Tuesday. Fire inspection requests can be requested by calling 360-417-4652 or email jmckeen@cityofpa.us.

How does the hybrid inspection process work?

Online Appointment Booking: Field inspection customers can request a specific date for an appointment. Inspectors will determine their daily routing and order of conducting the scheduled inspections. Customers may also modify or cancel their inspection appointment requests if needed. 

Confirmation Email: Requestors will receive an automated confirmation email about their upcoming inspection.

Inspection Lead Times: To be consistent across City inspector teams, the advance notice required for inspection requests has changed. All appointments must be requested before 8pm the business day prior to the desired appointment.
