Inspections
ATS Engineers perform the City of Rollingwood's inspections. Inspections must be called in before 4:00 p.m. to be scheduled for the next day. Please schedule inspections through your MyGovernmentOnline Portal. If you cannot, contact Development Services by phone or email (developmentservices@rollingwoodtx.gov). Always include your contact information, the property address, and the specific inspection(s) requested.
All inspections must be pre-paid before a permit is issued.
All inspections listed on the plan review are required to grant occupancy. Additional inspections may be necessary, especially for phased projects. We are glad to call in any additional inspections you want above what your permit requires.
