Inspections
The City of Harrison Building Code regulates commercial, 1, 2 and 3 family construction and accessory structures such as fences, walls, sheds, pools, mechanical replacement and garages, as well as all nonresidential structures and mechanical systems. The purpose of this code is to provide minimum standards in the form of basic and uniform regulations relating to safety, sanitation and conservation of energy.
It is the responsibility of the holder of a permit to notify the proper inspection agency when work is ready for the various inspections required by the terms of the permit or the rules and regulations of each agency below. Once the work has been completed, tested and believed to conform to the approved plans and code regulations, please contact the appropriate agency below to schedule the necessary inspections for the project. Inspections are done during regular office hours Monday-Friday. Any inspection needed outside of regular office hours must be arranged with the Building Official in advance. A 24-hour notice is required for any given inspection and must be called in by 4:30pm on the previous business day. An estimated time frame will be established on the morning the inspection is to take place. If a cancellation of the scheduled inspection is needed, please notify the agency immediately.
