With the launch of the new permitting software the City of Knoxville has updated our inspection scheduling system. Don't worry if you have a permit issued before the launch of the new system as you can still schedule inspections. Please pay close attention to the permit types and format listed below to determine what link to use to schedule your inspections. We currently have two options for permit format and scheduling, our new format through Webpermits and our Legacy system. 

Which permit type do you need to schedule an inspection for?

Webpermits e.g. IBC-NEW-22- ####

You have chosen the Webpermits option. The Webpermits format for a permit number is: "IRC or IBC - Type - Year - Number".

For example IBC-NEW-22-0001 or IRC-ALT-22-0001

Once you have clicked the link below make sure to save that scheduling page.

Common Questions:

How soon can I get my inspection?

Inspections can generally be scheduled for the next day if requested prior to 2pm. If the next day is not available prior to 2pm it means that the department already has more inspections scheduled than there is staff available.

What inspections are required?

All permits require a final inspection. The permit type and scope of work will determine what other inspection types are required. Your inspector is the best person to talk to about when they need to be involved.

If your project included the review of plans, the back of your permit will provide you a basic list of required inspections based on the construction drawings submitted.

What do I do if covered up work that has not been inspected?

The FAQ list is currently under development. Additional information will be available soon but, in the meantime, please call the office with your questions at 865-215-3669.

Is someone required to attend the inspection with the inspector?
