Springville Inspections Department

Welcome to the City of Springville Inspections Department. The City of Springville Inspections Department is responsible for issuing all commercial and residential building permits. Our Inspections Department also inspects all commercial and residential construction within the city. All construction plans must be approved by the Building Official / Inspector prior to issuance of Building Permit. It is unlawful to begin work prior to issuance of any Building Permit or Trade Permit. If you have any questions, please contact our office via email or phone. We look forward to working with you to build a beautiful Springville.
