Building Inspection Division

The Building Inspection Division consists of five inspectors.  They are responsible for inspection of new construction and existing structures within the City.  The Division inspects new construction including building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and sewer connection.  We assure that all required permits and licenses are purchased and that all work is in compliance with standards and codes adopted by the State of Indiana.  This Division also inspects dilapidated structures and structures involved in fires for condemnation.  After property is condemned, we work with property owners to either repair or demolish the structures.  The City of Terre Haute Zoning Ordinance is also enforced by these inspectors.  The Weights and Measures Inspector is responsible for checking all commercial scales and meters within the City.  This includes gas pumps.
