Inspection Request

A property inspection is the way that the City ensures that new and remodeled buildings are constructed according to the plans approved by the City of Fillmore. By actively inspecting in-progress and completed construction, the City can help ensure that buildings meet all health and safety regulations.

Any work which requires a permit will require inspections. When a permit is obtained, an Inspection Record card will be issued. This card must be posted on the job site. The Inspection Record card will be the owner record of the approved inspections. The plans which were approved by the City must also be available for the inspector during each inspection.

An inspection request can be made by calling the Building and Safety Department at 805-524-7125. Requests for inspections must be made by 5 pm the prior business day to the desired inspection. Request for inspections can be phoned in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the above phone number is served by a voice mail if no one is available.
