Building Inspection

Beginning Thursday, June 18, 2020 through June 30, 2020 our offices will have reduced hours to the public. We will be open from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm in order to allow staff to deal with the backlog accumulated during the time our offices were closed.

This may be extended. The website will be updated accordingly.

We have a white drop box at the front of our building at 705 N Zeeb Rd. We would encourage you to use that if possible to lessen the amount of contact for yourself and our staff. If you have all of the appropriate documentation you can drop your application packet in the drop box and it will be processed in a timely manner. You can also drop payments for re-inspections, additional fees, etc. in the box. Please make sure to reference your property address or permit number to ensure correct payment posting.

If you need to pick up your permits you can contact staff at 734-222-3900 and make arrangements to pay by credit card or deposit a check in the drop box and they can prepare your copies and leave them in the lobby for you to pick up.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE INSPECTION REQUESTS ON EITHER OF THE EMAILS PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED DURING THE COVID-19 SHUTDOWN.

Inspection requests will be taken using the normal methods by calling 734-222-3900 or using the automated system at 734-222-3720.

Inspection time frames will be handled as usual by calling inspection staff between 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 am. Here are the inspectors’ direct phone numbers:
