Before Requesting a Final Inspection:

• Confirm that the work outlined in the Initial Inspection Report was performed in accordance with local guidelines, current state building codes, and MSFH Program Guidelines in the Homeowners Guide. 
• Confirm that all permits are closed out and the local Building Inspector's Office has completed all required building inspections. A local Building Inspector's Office will have an inspection that is separate from the MSFH Program Final Inspection.
