Changes to Inspection Availability on the West Slope
To improve resource allocation and deliver more consistent, high-quality customer service, the Building Department is adjusting inspection scheduling countywide.

Beginning August 25, 2025:
-     Inspection services will continue to be available Monday through Friday.
-     The number of inspections performed Monday through Thursday will increase to better meet demand.
-     In remote areas—specifically Mosquito and Volcanoville—inspection services will be limited to Tuesdays and Thursdays only.
These changes will allow us to perform more inspections county-wide by improving scheduling efficiency and reducing travel time.
We encourage customers to schedule inspections earlier in the week whenever possible, especially for remote locations or Friday requests, to help avoid scheduling delays.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
