If you call to schedule an inspection, you will be asked, out of an abundance of caution, if anyone in your household, business or other enclosed area to be inspected has any of the following symptoms: fever, cough and shortness of breath to schedule a date at least two weeks into the future. We respectfully ask that the inspection be delayed, or rescheduled if already planned. We understand many individuals may not be able to take additional time off during normal business hours as they may now be home with children due to school closing, work closures or health issues and will work to accommodate your schedule, including evening inspections when possible. To reschedule contact the appropriate department:
