Town of Galway
Building Inspector / Zoning Administrator
Scheduling Inspections
It is the property owner's responsibility to schedule the required inspections. Permission can be given to the contractors, however, failure to request any of the inspections can prevent the issuance of the required Certificate of Occupancy!!! There can be no exceptions.
Inspection requests can be made by calling me at my home at 882-5226, or calling the town hall at 882-6070. Inspections cannot usually be done the same day they are requested.
The Building Inspector shall be notified to make the following inspections, which shall include but not be limited to:
Foundation footings BEFORE pouring concrete.
Foundation BEFORE backfill.
Septic system before backfill - make sure there is adequate water to test the level of the distribution box.
Plumbing, heating, framing and electrical before closing in the framework. Electrical inspections are by a third party inspector.
Prior to any occupancy, final inspection for
the Certificate of Occupancy. Absolutely no residing in the
dwelling without the Certificate of Occupancy.
