Final/Field Inspection
Because no local building code is adopted and no dedicated Building Division or inspector is named in the City's available materials, Burlington publishes no specific inspection sequence — foundation, framing, rough-in, final — for standard construction. The permit form includes a 'Public Works' signoff line, indicating Public Works staff play some inspection or signoff role, but no itemized inspection checklist is published. Ask the City what it will want to see and when.
