Inspection Services Procedures

Commercial Inspections: Inspections will proceed as requested by contractors. Inspectors will provide 10 minutes advance notice of arrival to the site so areas to be inspected may be cleared of workers. Up to two (2) site managers may accompany the inspector for the inspection if desired. All individuals on site must remain a minimum of ten feet from the inspector at all times. Failure to clear the area needing inspection or maintain adequate distance from the inspector will result in a failed inspection and the inspector leaving the site immediately.

Residential Inspections: One (1) individual may accompany the inspector for the inspection if desired. Children, individuals not accompanying the inspector, and pets shall remain in a fully separated space away from the inspector for the duration of the inspection. Failure to clear the area under construction or maintain adequate distance from the inspector will result in a failed inspection and the inspector leaving the site immediately.

​Who We Are



The City of Greenfield is now a Delegated Municipality and can conduct Commercial Building and HVAC plan review in lieu of plans being reviewed by DSPS. Plan review will be conducted in partnership with E-Plan Exam.

Inspection Services is primarily responsible for overseeing new construction of and alterations to commercial and residential buildings and the installation of plumbing, electrical, and heating and air conditioning systems. Plans are reviewed and permits are issued with conditional approval within the restrictions of State and City codes.

Inspections are made at various stages of construction. For each inspection made, a computer report is entered. These reports are kept in our computer database as a history of the property for current and future owners. Property files are public record and open for public inspection during regular office hours.
