Permit applications are accepted between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Our offices are closed on all State Holidays.

Important Information

• It will take 24 hours from the time you apply for a permit to the time you will be able to receive an inspection. (If application is from small cities such as Hallsville, Centralia, or Ashland, the 24 hours begins from the time our office receives the application)
• Prior to any building inspections. You will need a presite inspection from the Health Department and a presite inspection from the Boone County Public Works Department (if applicable).
• Permit card must be on site for inspection to take place.  Inspectors reserve the right not to inspect if card is not on site.
• Inspections must be scheduled by office personnel; not inspectors. Inspectors do not schedule inspections in the field. We do not do inspections prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 3:00 p.m. unless agreed to by the inspector who will perform the inspection..
• One inspection per site, per day, unless otherwise agreed to by an inspector.
• One-half day notice is required for residential inspections.  You must request an inspection before noon to receive a same-day inspection.
• If a re-inspection is necessary a re-inspection fee of $10 may be charged. This fee must be paid at the Buidling Insepctions Office prior to any further inspections.  The re-inspection fee may be charged if an inspector needs to return to the site for any reason. (examples are: work is not completed when the inspector arrives; re-inspect of previsouly incorrect sites; inspector could not gain access to building, property, or specific areas such as attic or crawl space).
• YOU MUST REFERENCE YOUR APPLICATION/PERMIT NUMBER WHEN YOU CALL FOR INSPECTIONS. NO EXCEPTIONS.
