Building Inspections

The City of Sammamish is committed to providing excellent customer service every day. You may notice a new face or two among our building inspectors, and occasionally we may need to ask for your patience as we juggle summer calendars. We appreciate your understanding. Please contact our Permit Center at 425-295-0500 if you have questions or need more information.

Our building inspectors have in excess of twenty years experience in building inspection, with experience of over 30 years in the construction industry. They continue to grow professionally by attending seminars, conferences, completing college courses, and gaining additional certifications.

Building inspection is our key task in working with the community. We welcome calls or e-mail requesting clarification or guidance on construction related issues.
