To Schedule an Inspection
Ensure all work is completed before the inspection is scheduled. It is not possible cancel inspections on the same day online. Inspectors cannot be contacted directly. It is the sole role and responsibility of those requesting inspections to ensure the work is complete in advance of the inspection request.

Instructions for Scheduling:

• Go to Inspection.MyBuildingPermit.com
• Select the inspection request option.
• Select Newcastle from the list of cities.
• Enter the permit number in the search bar - not the address.
•   Find the inspection(s) you would like to request from the list available for your permit.
• Select the date desired for the inspection(s). NOTES: 1. Do not select dates or windows for any inspections listed except those for which you are currently ready, and need completed. Selecting dates or windows for additional inspections will clear them from your list and make them unavailable to schedule in the future. 2. Building Finals can only be scheduled if both Public Works and Planning Finals (if required) are approved on your permit. Building Finals will not be performed in advance.
• Fill out the name, phone, and email box at the bottom. Email is required for Newcastle since it is how you will receive your electronic "Fail" card should your inspection fail.
• In the remarks section, please include your name & phone number if you want to receive an ETA of when the inspector will be in Newcastle. A 2-hour window will be provided. The phone number should be a mobile phone as this information will be texted to you by default. If you do not have a mobile number, please indicate if a phone call is required. Please note this box is limited to 25 characters.
