Kayenta Township building inspections

Applies to: Commercial Building Permit

1. 1

   Plan review (Building Official / Plans Examiner)

   Plans and application are reviewed for completeness and code compliance; a Plan Check Number tracks the submittal through review.

2. 2

   Field inspections during construction

   At least 24 hours' notice required for inspection requests (except emergencies); inspection card and approved plans must be posted on-site for all scheduled inspections. Off-site construction engineering inspections (grading, paving, utilities) follow the off-site inspector's own procedures with the same 24-hour minimum notice; after-hours inspections may incur additional charges.

3. 3

   Final inspection and Certificate of Occupancy walk-through

   Multi-department final walk-through covering Building & Safety, fire prevention, on-site and off-site engineering, utilities, sanitation, planning, and landscape architecture requirements before a Certificate of Occupancy (or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy) is issued. See the dedicated final-inspection-certificate-of-occupancy permit type for full detail.

Applies to: Residential Building Permit

1. 1

   Building Official / Plan Reviewer plan review

   Plans are reviewed against the adopted codes; incomplete or illegible applications are set aside pending applicant contact.

2. 2

   Field inspections during construction

   Building code inspections are required as work progresses; the inspection card copy of the permit must be posted on the job-site along with approved plans for all scheduled inspections. At least 24 hours' notice is required for inspection requests unless the Building Official determines an emergency warrants immediate inspection.

3. 3

   Final inspection

   Final inspection confirms completion of all scope-of-work items per approved plans before project close-out; formal Certificate of Occupancy guidelines are published specifically for commercial projects (see final-inspection-certificate-of-occupancy permit type), though final inspection itself also applies to residential projects per the general Building & Safety Department inspection process.

Applies to: Annual Permit (Registration)

1. 1

   Application review

   Decisions on Annual Permit registration applications are made within 10 days of proper submittal, per the application's own published process. Upon approval, the registration fee must be paid for the program to take effect.

2. 2

   Ongoing plan review / inspection (in lieu of individual permits)

   Registrants may also receive plan review and inspections as included in the registration fee; work is otherwise self-directed by the professional engineer/architect of record via monthly progress reports rather than per-alteration Building Department field inspections.
