Schedule an Inspection

Certificate of Occupancy inspections and others requiring permits can only be scheduled if the appropriate permit has been issued by Fire Plan Review. Please note: The electrical power must be on at the time of the final Fire Inspection.

Inspections scheduled by 2:00pm are typically conducted the next business day. If scheduled after 2:00pm, the inspection will be in two business days. Inspectors generally call between 6:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. with an estimated time of arrival on the morning of inspection.

Inspections needed prior to 8:00am, are required to be scheduled at least two business days prior to the inspection date by calling 678.518.4980 extension 2. This cannot be done online.

Go to https://eddspermits.gwinnettcounty.com/citizenaccess to schedule your inspection online. This is the County's website that gives citizens access to information related to permits and the ability to schedule inspections.

For a fire inspection related to a new Certificate of Occupancy, you will enter your permit number beginning with "BLD" or "TNC".

For compliance inspections of existing buildings, and others not requiring a permit, call 678.518.4980 extension 2.
