City of Lynchburg, Inspections Division, (434) 455-3910

I, (Full Name)

Of (Address)

I have applied for

permit as required under the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. I certify I am doing all said work alone, without assistance from any outside source. I am familiar with the prerequisites of Section 54.1-1111 of the Code of Virginia and I am not subject to licensure as a contractor or subcontractor.

I understand all work done under this permit must be done in accordance with all applicable provisions of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, and in compliance with Zoning and City Ordinances.

I further understand all work must be inspected and approved, prior to concealment, by the City of Lynchburg's Inspections Division. I understand I am responsible for requesting and arranging inspections for all work completed, and the referenced property may not be occupied until inspections are made and a Certificate of Occupancy issued. 

In the event of additional inspections, due to failure or compliance with the Codes, or when requests for inspections are made before the work to be inspected has been completed to the degree required, or the inspector cannot obtain reasonable access to the work, a reinspection fee will be assessed for each subsequent inspection. Violation of provisions of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (Building, Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing) or any requirements made by the inspectors under the powers of the City Code shall be liable to a fine up to $2,500 every day of failure to conform to such provisions or requirement shall constitute a separate offense.
