QuickTrac System
All permits must have a final inspection before a Certificate of Occupancy can be issued (review the Inspection Guidelines and Other Permit Information for more information). Customers can call the QuickTrac system 24 hours a day to schedule permit inspections.
QuickTrac is linked to our building permit system and allows callers to:
- Schedule inspections
- Cancel and reschedule inspections
- Check inspection results
- Check Permit & Plans Review Status
QuickTrac works with any touch-tone phone, including cell phones. Before calling, you will need:
- Your permit number or plan number
- Inspection codes, if scheduling or cancelling an inspection
Helpful Hints
- When first using QuickTrac, listen to the entire message or list of options. Once you are familiar with the system, you can make your selection at any time.
- Please write down and save your confirmation number for future reference.
- If using a cell phone, make sure you have a clear connection to prevent any interruptions in the transmission of your commands.
- Save the QuickTrac number (443-984-2776) in your cell phone, so you can quickly access QuickTrac.
