Residents of Clark County, Washington, now have streamlined options for scheduling inspections, thanks to recent updates discussed in a government meeting on September 23, 2025. The county has introduced an online inspection request system, which is designed to make the process more efficient and user-friendly.

The online method is highlighted as the preferred choice for residents. It allows users to easily navigate the system, leave notes for inspectors, and receive a confirmation number once the inspection is scheduled. For those who prefer to schedule inspections over the phone, the automated inspection request line is available at (564) 397-2477. Residents are reminded to have their permit number and inspection code ready when calling.

A key point emphasized during the meeting is the importance of timely requests. Inspections for the following day must be scheduled before 10 PM. The online system can be accessed by visiting permits.clark.wa.gov, where users can find the inspection request section without needing to log in. It is crucial for residents to verify their permit details and ensure that their permits are not expired before making a request.

In addition to the online scheduling, officials noted that some projects require a preconstruction erosion inspection to be completed before any further inspections can be requested. This step is vital for ensuring compliance with local regulations and maintaining safety standards.

The meeting underscored the county's commitment to improving service delivery and making the inspection process more accessible for all residents. As these changes take effect, community members can expect a smoother experience when navigating the permitting and inspection landscape in Clark County.
