Inspections for OTHER Project Types

Inspections are required for all permitted projects in Baldwin County.

Every permit requires at least an approved final inspection. Smaller, single-trade projects (such as electrical upgrades or mechanical/HVAC change-outs) require only a final inspection when the work is complete. Larger projects (such as new construction, additions, and alterations/repairs) require multiple inspections at different stages of construction.

Note: It is the permit holder's responsibility to schedule all required inspections.
