Permitted construction work in the City of Tampa requires inspections be made to ensure all work meets the current building codes.  Inspections are divided into specific phases (Foundation, Slab/Floor Framing, Lintel/Team Beam, Framing, Insulation, Final) to assure all of the work gets inspected before it is covered up.  These phases do not apply to storm water, transportation, landscaping, and fire inspections. These inspections are conducted during the final inspection at the end of construction.

If the construction site is not ready for inspections or there are excessive code violations discovered during the inspection, a Notice of Violation is issued and a re-inspection fee will be charged.
