The City of Kennewick’s Building and Planning Department is excited to announce the addition of virtual inspections within our Building Department.
Going forward, virtual (final) inspections will be available for residential and commercial HVAC system replacements, residential and commercial water heater replacements, and residential re-roofs.
These virtual inspections will be conducted via a Zoom call from the installation technician at the project location to an in-house inspector, who will be monitoring a Zoom meeting waiting room.
These virtual inspections will be available starting on October 14th.
The inspection request process will remain the same as traditional requests, except the applicant will select “Virtual” for their final inspection.
It is important to note that the technician performing the virtual inspection must have the Zoom link on their phone, so they can call into the meeting and use their camera.
Directions will be available under Online Permitting, in the Permitting & Inspections section, under Applications & Forms. Or view step-by-step instructions HERE.
