Pierce County, WA Building Safety: Building Inspections (2026)

090. That construction-completion approval is itself a checklist. 090 requires the County Inspector's final punchlist to be fully cleared, the project engineer to submit a completed Engineer's Inspection Report Form, the engineer to prepare and submit record drawings for County review, the applicant to post a Defect and Maintenance Financial Guarantee, an application for a Performance Monitoring Permit to be on file, a Maintenance Covenant approved, executed, and recorded with the Pierce County Auditor, permanent stabilization of the site soils, and any required easements and deeds approved, executed, and recorded.

Only after every item on that list clears does the Building Division schedule the final structure inspection. 150 before that final inspection happens. 090 lets the County charge a reinspection fee instead of returning for free; the code specifically exempts a first-time rejection from the fee, targeting only repeat or unready calls. 00 in 2027. 010, not just building inspections, so plumbing, mechanical, and fire inspections carry the same repeat-visit charge.
