The City of Federal Way uses an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system to schedule, cancel, reschedule building inspections, and/or obtain inspection results.

To schedule, cancel, or reschedule an inspection or to obtain inspection results: CALL (253) 835-3050

Have the following information ready:

10-Digit Permit Number	Found on Building Permit
4-Digit Inspection Code	Inspection Codes
Date of Inspection	Same day if scheduled prior to 5:30 a.m.
Phone Number	Best way to reach you during business hours

You will be given a confirmation number. If you do not receive a confirmation number, the inspection was not successfully scheduled. We recommend that you note your confirmation number for use when communicating with our office about any inspection problems you may experience.

Inspection Time
 A specific inspection time CANNOT BE GUARANTEED, The system will allow you to leave a voice mail with your time preference and/or special instructions at the end of the call. The inspector will accommodate requests for preferred time frames as scheduling and workloads allow.

 Inspections will not be performed (and you may be assessed reinspections fees) if:

• The approved site copy of the permit/plans/inspection card is not on site and available to the inspector.
• The site address is not clearly posted.
• Your inspector does not have access to the site or project. It is the responsibility of whoever is requesting an inspection to provide any special equipment--such as ladders--required to access any aspect of the project.
• Any required Temporary Erosion Control measures for your project are not in place at the time of the inspection.

Please call a Development Specialist at (253) 835-2607 if:

• You do not receive a confirmation number
• Your scheduled inspection does not occur
• You need to change or cancel an inspection on the day it is scheduled to occur
