Inspections

Construction professional holding a cell phone

The City of Chandler offers a free texting service for customers and contractors to schedule construction inspections and receive results via text messaging.

The number to text is 844-281-3520.

To schedule a request, text the command "schedule, S, or SCHED" and the following information with spaces in between:

  • permit number
  • inspection code
  • date you want to schedule it for  

For example, to schedule an Above Ceiling inspection for permit number BLD19-0119 on Feb. 14, text S bld190119 712 2/14. You will receive a text back acknowledging receipt. The reply will consist of your address, inspection request and the date. You can respond with a note to the inspector and confirm the inspection.

For inspection result requests, text the command (r, result, results) along with the permit number with spaces in between. Example: r bld190119 

To cancel or reschedule an inspection: type in a command (c, can, cancel, canc, reschedule, resched) followed by the permit number and inspection code with spaces in between. For example, to cancel an inspection for permit number EPM196001, text c epm196001.
