Fayette County Building Department NOTICE: Effective August 25, 2025
To all Permit Holders,
Effective August 25, 2025, the Fayette County Department of Building Safety will no longer accept inspection requests via telephone. To ensure a clear and legal record of permit holder authentication, all inspection requests must be made by the permit holder directly through our online permitting software, Sages.gov. We have computers in the lobby if anyone needs any assistance.
This policy change aligns with the principles of the International Code Council (ICC) standards, which emphasize the importance of maintaining an official record for all building safety and permitting activities. This measure also reinforces our local Fayette County ordinances regarding the proper documentation and accountability of construction projects.
Failure to request inspections through the Sages.gov platform will prevent scheduling an inspection. Your cooperation is appreciated as we work to streamline the permitting and inspection process and maintain the highest standards of safety and compliance.
