PPRBD inspections follow the permit holder

An inspection in the Pikes Peak region follows the permit record, not whoever happens to be standing on the job site that day.

Inspections can be scheduled online or by phone, but only by the party who purchased the permit. A homeowner cannot book one if a contractor pulled the permit, and that single rule decides who owns the inspection step. When the contractor holds the permit, the contractor manages the inspection path from request to passed result. When a homeowner pulled the permit for genuine do-it-yourself work, the homeowner sits in that seat instead.

The trouble shows up when nobody settled this early. A crew finishes a phase, the work is ready to be looked at, and then the people standing on site discover they are not the ones who can call it in. The request stalls, days slip by waiting on someone else to log in or pick up the phone, and the rest of the schedule backs up behind it.

So the cleaner move is to agree up front who bought the permit and who will schedule each inspection, and to keep the permit number where both sides can reach it. The one habit that protects the whole project is simple: never cover up work that still needs to be inspected, because once it is buried, getting the sign-off can mean opening it back up.
