Permits and Inspections - Schedule an Inspection (Official City of Bellevue Website)

Schedule an Inspection

Have the permit and any approved plans at the site and available for the inspector.
Be ready before the inspector arrives; otherwise, you may be required to reschedule and pay a reinspection fee.
Make sure the work has been inspected before covering it.
Any permit may expire; review your permit to determine what the expiration date is.
Inspection scheduling is your responsibility.
Review the list of inspections on your permit. Depending on the scope of the work, it's possible that not every inspection listed will be required. Phone the appropriate inspection office listed on your permit if you need assistance. If a preconstruction meeting ("precon" or "precon/jobcon") is listed, schedule it before starting the work.
All inspections associated with a permit must be approved before you schedule the final inspection. The signoff on your final inspection closes out the inspection process--unless your project requires a certificate of occupancy.
