How do I schedule an inspection?

Building inspection requests must be submitted in the Maintstar Permit Portal. Inspections can only be scheduled for ISSUED permits. Any person(s) requesting an inspection must be a listed contact in that permit record. To be added to a permit record, please contact the Building Division at 619.667.1176 or via email at buildingpermitapps@cityoflamesa.us

For inspection requests to other departments other than Building, please contact the departments directly:

  • Planning Division:  619.667.1177
  • Engineering Division:  619.667.1154
  • Fire Department:  619.667.1355 

Inspections may be scheduled for the next business day, if requested by 4 p.m. the day prior. Please visit the City Calendar to view the City of La Mesa’s Friday closures and holidays.
