This notice has been sent to help you avoid any delays with your project. The Required Inspections Table shown below lists those inspections that must be performed to verify that your work complies with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. Please note that Virginia's Building Code prohibits the use of any plumbing fixtures or equipment prior to approval of all required inspections.
