Welcome to Pelham! For your new location in Pelham you will need to have an inspection done. The business occupancy inspection request forms will need to be completely filled out and returned. We perform a life safety inspection, on "new/added" location businesses to be sure nothing has been added without a permit, no loose wires, life safety items in place, etc. Once the business occupancy inspection request forms are returned we will start the internal zoning approval process. When we have zoning approval, we will accept payment for the inspection fee and set up inspection on the day and time you choose. The building & fire inspectors will inspect in person at the time and day you choose, pending availability. Forms of payment we accept are cash, check and card. However, if you use card (debit/credit) it will charge an extra $3 as a processing fee and we do not accept American Express. Our office is located at the Water Works building on the 2nd floor, 3111 Cummings St. Pelham, AL 35124. If you want to mail everything, please mail to PO Box 1479 Pelham, AL 35124 Attn: Building Department.
