It shall be the applicant’s responsibility to perform all work in accordance with the Virginia USBC, and within the scope of what was authorized under the permit. The approved construction documents returned with the permit, shall be retained at the job site and be available for inspectors on request. Once a permit has been issued, you have the authority to commence work. When work is disapproved by an inspector, a $52.50 re-inspection fee will be charged. Any inspection requested after that time will be done the following business day. Visit PermitLink to schedule an inspection.
