Note Regarding Inspections
Please note that we have changed our inspection process for building inspections only. Inspections will now be taken one day in advance. Please contact our main number 508-495-7470 to schedule your inspection between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Again, this new process does not apply to plumbing or electrical permits. Call ahead is one day in advance for building inspections only.
