What does the inspector look for when inspecting the fence?
The planning inspector will need to see the city approved plot plan to determine setbacks and construction details. The property owner must identify the property pins so the inspector can determine that there is no encroachment onto another property, a right-of-way or easement. The footing inspection is done after the footings are dug and the steel is installed to determine if the footing is as wide and as deep as the plan calls for. Once the footings are approved, the only other inspection is the final inspection. This is done to see that the fence is not higher than allowed by the approved plans or by city ordinance.
