General information about scheduling inspections
If tree preservation is needed on your approved plans, inspection #507 must be approved before you can request any other inspections.
If disturbing the ground, you must have Inspection #200 approved before digging. This needs to be approved before setbacks, footings, and foundation inspections.
Inspection #210 must be approved before permit final approval.
