The Building Department is in its final stages of implementing new permitting software and releasing this new and powerful product to our development customers!  We hope that this investment will dramatically increase interactive online services that will provide our customers with real-time important information regarding their permit.  Our goal is to go-live in late summer and that the new look and powerful services will meet the needs and expectations of the development community.

Yuba County Building Department Field Inspectors
After a building permit has been issued, the International Code Council (ICC) certified inspection staff will conduct field inspections at various stages of construction to verify the work being completed is in compliance with the State building codes, local ordinances, and engineering designs.

Active permit holders may request an inspection.  Inspection requests must be made at least one business day in advance.  All inspection requests received before 7:00am will automatically be scheduled for the same business day and all inspection requests received after 7:00am will automatically be scheduled for the next business day.  Please note, do to the high volume of daily inspections, you will not receive a call back or email confirmation.
