Required Inspections

It is your responsibility to contact the Jasper County Building Department to schedule the required inspections. Failure to call for the required inspections can result in fines, removing completed work to allow for inspections, and denial of a certificate of occupancy. You should try to call as far in advance for inspections as is practical. The Building Inspectors will make every effort to respond to inspection calls as soon as possible, but if you wait to the last minute, you may be held up waiting for an inspection.
