An electrical inspector will come to perform an inspection generally within 48 hours of the date of the request.

  • Don't submit a request for inspection until the work is ready to be inspected.
  • Requests can be made online 24 hours a day.
  • Requests left on the request line after 4 p.m. will not be recorded until the following business day.
  • Special arrangements such as access to the site or building, times or date must be made directly with the electrical inspector at your local L&I office. Inspectors are available for phone calls between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. for this purpose.
  • If corrections are written you may need to request another inspection to verify work has been corrected and permit is completed.
