REMINDERS:
Final inspections are important for a few different reasons., Once a permit is taken out for a project a paper trail is started and when final inspections are not called for this creates stagnant paperwork, which clogs up filing cabinets and wastes township time trying to clean these files up.

Another reason is the failure to obtain your final inspection and receive your certificate may be a possible loophole for insurance carriers not to cover a claim (i.e. pools). Lastly, failure to call for a final inspection according to State statutes could result in a Notice of Violation and/or monetary penalties.
