Permit Inspections

Permitted construction work in the City of Tampa requires inspections be made to ensure all work meets the current building codes.  Inspections are divided into specific phases to assure all of the work gets inspected before it is covered up.

• Foundation
• Slab/Floor Framing
• Lintel/Tie Beam
• Framing
• Insulation
• Final

These phases do not apply to storm water, transportation, landscaping, and fire inspections. These inspections are conducted during the final inspection at the end of construction.

If the construction site is not ready for inspections or there are excessive code violations discovered during the inspection, a notice of violation is issued and a re-inspection fee of $29.00 is charged.  If upon the re-inspection a repeat of the same violation(s) is discovered a $57.00 fee is charged and a subsequent repeat inspection fee of $115.00 is also charged.

To assist you with the identification of all of the inspections, we have information available on all of the required inspections listed in great detail.
