Building Inspections
The City of Jacksonville's Building Inspections Division enforces certain minimum standards pursuant to the North Carolina Building Code. The purpose of having these minimum standards are to ensure the public's health and general welfare through structural strength, stability, sanitation, adequate light and ventilation, and safety to life and property from fire, hurricane, and other hazards attributed to the built environment. Inspections to ensure the minimum standards are met typically occur during alteration, repair, removal, demolition, use, and occupancy of buildings, structures or premises.
The Building Inspections Division also regulates the installation and maintenance of all electrical, gas, mechanical and plumbing systems, which may be referred to as service systems. The provisions in the North Carolina Building code shall be deemed to supplement any and all State laws of the State of North Carolina relating to building. The Inspectors are ready to help assist you through the building/inspections process.
