Inspection Requests

There are two ways to schedule Building and/or Land Use Permit inspections in the City of Ellensburg:

1- Telephone Inspection Request Line

The inspection request line is cleared at 4:00 pm; if requests are made after 4:00 pm then they will occur two business days out, unless a different day is requested. 

2- SMARTGov On-Line Permit Center

Inspections can be scheduled by using the City of Ellensburg’s online SMARTGov web-based permitting software program. The SMARTGov website allows permit customers to view detailed permit information, schedule inspections and review the approval process of their permit application.

Inspections must be scheduled by 4:00 pm for a next day inspection.  Inspections scheduled before 4:00 PM the day prior will get an inspection for the following day.  If requests are made after 4:00 pm then they will occur two business days out, unless a different day is requested.
