Managing Inspections for a Permit

The permit information includes a consolidated list of inspections related to a permit. As a permit coordinator, you manage inspection activity for a permit—including status, inspection results, code or requirement violations, and more—on the Inspection List page.

As agency staff or a registered public user, you use the Inspection List page to view a complete list of inspections for a permit application. Go to the inspection list in the permit details to perform these tasks:

• Manage inspection activity.

• View inspections in a calendar format.

• Perform actions, including access inspection details, and request and schedule an inspection.
