Published scheduling rules

  • Plumbing is permitted locally by the City, but the City performs contemporaneous State Plumbing Board (DORA) license verification at inspection — ensure your Plumbing Contractor and Master Plumber licenses are current and listed on the permit before scheduling inspections. (Residential Building Permit (New Construction))
  • Inspection requests must be submitted (by email to building@fedheights.org or by phone to 303-412-3534) by 3:30 p.m. the day before the desired inspection date — this is a scheduling-window rule for the appointment itself, not a plan-review commitment. (General)
