Building Inspections
Regular building inspections can be requested by calling (425) 295-0500 up to 3
pm on the day prior to the date the inspection is needed. The city of Sammamish
Building Division performs sequential visual inspection of work in progress that
is under current city-issued Building, Plumbing, and Mechanical permits.
Do not cover or enclose any item without first have obtained an approved inspection
by the city of Sammamish.
Due to our busy workload, inspection routes are scheduled to minimize travel time
for inspectors. The inspectors are unable to take special requests for time of day.
If you call in for an inspection, it is expected that your project will be ready
for inspection at 8 am. The actual time the inspector arrives will be dependent
upon the number and location of inspections scheduled for that day.
Special Inspections
Special Inspections, performed by independent inspectors or agencies at the owner’s
expense, may be required, and must be approved by the city Building Official. Requirements
for special inspections will be found within the approved permit documents as provided
by the designer, or specified by the city in Conditions of Permit Issuance.
Re-Inspection Fees
Please be advised that if you have not completed all of the required work for the
inspection you have requested, or if you decide to cancel an inspection after 8
am of the day the inspection is scheduled, you will be subject to a $112.50 re-inspection
fee which must be paid before re-scheduling
the inspection.
Certificates of Occupancy
All buildings constructed to meet the provisions of the International Residential
Code or International Building Code will be issued Certificates of Occupancy after
the building project final inspection is approved.
Buildings are not permitted to be occupied before obtaining certificate of occupancy.
