Field inspectors obtain compliance with applicable codes and ordinances, by inspecting structural framework, fire and life safety requirements, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems. The inspectors are responsible for both residential and commercial structures.


Inspections are provided Monday through Friday, 8:00am through 4:00pm (except holidays). Building and Safety's goal is to respond to all inspections requested within 24 hours.  Our cutoff is 5:00am for same-day inspections.

To request an inspection there are (3) options available to you:

  1. Phone: (503) 588-6256, option 3, then option 1 
  1. SPLASH:  https://splash.cityofsalem.net -- Registered user/business accounts can login and schedule inspections directly on any of their permits - can also review inspection results real-time and without being on the jobsite.
  2. Web: Make an online inspection request -- thismethod only generates an email request that Inspectors have to schedule.

An Inspection Checklist is available for your convenience.  It contains the code references used by our staff while performing on-site inspections.

The City has inspection activities performed by several workgroups - Building and Safety, Fire, Public Works, Planning, and Compliance Services.
