Inspection Scheduling

Special Notice

Gov. Jay Inslee announced all construction, including new work, is now allowed.

All construction, including those activities for which social distancing may not be maintained and the start of new construction projects, is authorized to resume. Job site requirements include maintaining at least six feet of distance between workers at job sites whenever possible.

All projects require a completed Affidavit of Safety Compliance (COVID-19) to have on file prior to any requests for inspection.

Social distancing of no less than 6 feet from the inspector is compulsory at all times for any inspections conducted in person (please see Social Distancing Tips for more information).

For questions, contact Building Services at (425) 806-6400.

You can request an inspection through MyBuildingPermit.com. All requests will be logged and assigned to a City Inspector. If the request is received by 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, an inspector will respond to the site on the next business day, holidays excluded (see details below). 

The City has seen unexpected revenue loss due to COVID-19 and in order to assist with the budget deficit, the City has imposed furloughs and layoffs on employees.  A decision was made that City employees will be furloughed 10%, effective June 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2020. Generally, a furlough day will occur every other Friday beginning on June 12, 2020 and City facilities such as City Hall and the Bothell Operations Center will be closed.

In addition to the furlough days described above, inspection services will not be available on the following observed Holidays.  Inspection services will resume on the next business day following the observed furlough or holiday.
