Confirm the current inspection format with staff
West Valley City’s Residential Video Inspection page describes an option for certain inspections, including some follow-ups. It outlines an inspector-directed call and portal results, with a traditional inspection needed if video cannot be completed. Confirm current connection instructions with Building Inspections; older app names on the page are not repeated here. City resource.
Identify the permit and inspection question before arranging participation. Agree who will be at the property, can communicate with the inspector and can show the relevant work using staff instructions. Do not assume that the person who booked the discussion is also the person available on site.
Choose who can show the work and receive the result
Ask staff what information or views are needed and whether the video option suits the actual inspection. Confirm the practical connection arrangement with the participant. Keep any access limitation visible before the call instead of treating a remote format as a way to overlook it.
Afterward, retain the portal result and any stated next step with the project record. If the call cannot be completed, ask staff about the required follow-up format. A completed conversation or provider message is not a substitute for checking the actual recorded inspection result.
Project questions
Can every West Valley City inspection be completed by video?

Who should be ready for a West Valley City video-inspection call?
Agree on an on-site participant who can communicate with the inspector and show the relevant work under current staff instructions. Keep the portal result and remaining questions with the project afterward.
