Bowling Green Kentucky Inspection and Trade Guide

Bowling Green projects should be planned around footing, foundation, under-floor, slab, framing, energy, trade rough-in, right-of-way, sidewalk, driveway, and final inspections.

Permit takeaway

Bowling Green lists required progress inspections throughout construction and separates city building and electrical inspections from state plumbing and HVAC inspections.

Zoning and placement

Right-of-way, sidewalks, drives, stormwater, planning, and utilities can affect inspection timing and should be checked before exterior work or site work starts.

Building and trade review

Progress inspections include footing excavation, foundation, under-floor, concrete floors, framing or structure, vent and duct rough-in, energy, sprinkler, lath or gypsum board, penetrations, right-of-way, sidewalks, drives, and final.

Call before applying when
