FAQ’s – Web Permits Scheduling

What is the purpose of the City’s Web Permits application?
The purpose of the City’s Web Permits application is to provide contractors an alternate means of scheduling building inspections. This web-based system provides an alternative to the Direct Request IVR phone system, and has the added ability to schedule multiple inspections in one transaction.

What is the difference between the Web Permits application and the phone IVR Direct Request system?
Both systems provide the ability to schedule inspections, hear inspection results and get complete inspection history. Only Web Permits allows you to schedule multiple inspections in one transaction. The IVR system has the ability to send you a fax of complete inspection results history; Web Permits provides the ability for you to print this out on your own printer.

What else can I do with Web Permits besides schedule an inspection?
You can see a list of all currently scheduled inspections, display and print all inspection history, and retrieve general permit information (address, status, description of work etc.). Inspection results are available from this web site as soon as the inspector posts the information into the Permitting system.

What if I don’t have my permit number?
You can also look up a permit by the site address.

What types of inspections can be scheduled using the Web Permits application?
This web site does not handle any Fire inspections on either Fire or Building permits (‘B’ or ‘F’ permit types). It does not handle any inspections on Public Works permits. Other types of inspections on building permits, mechanical permits, electrical and plumbing permits, and sign permits can be scheduled here. It will allow scheduling of public works inspections on Building permits.

How do I schedule a Fire inspection on a Building or Fire permit?
Call the Fire Inspection scheduling line at 425-556-2232.

Why can’t I schedule a homeowner inspection using the web application?
Homeowners who don’t need a specific time of day appointment are welcome to use the web application to schedule their inspection. Homeowners who require a specific time of day need to discuss this with City of Redmond staff as there are a limited number of homeowner appointment times each day and these must be scheduled on the calendar.

Can I see inspection results on my Fire ‘F’ permit type?
Yes. Enter the ‘F” permit number and click on Submit. Then click on Inspection History.
