Inspection Services in new location next to Mast Road public works complex

posted on 6/11/2025

The City of Dover’s Inspection Services Division now operates from its new office on Mast Road next to the public works facility and recycling center. 

Inspection Services has 14 parking spaces in front of its 269 Mast Road building, where the public entrance and customer service area is located. The new location opened on June 9, 2025.

Inspection Services, part of the Planning Department, handles building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and fire/life safety plan review and permit issuance, and enforces building and fire/life safety codes and health regulations.

Inspection Services moved from its offices at the Liberty North End Fire Station, which became too small for its operations. In 2023, through the Capital Improvements Program, the city embarked on a space needs study to help determine current and future operating needs and considered several options, including adding an addition to the fire station. Relocating to Mast Road will provide much-needed customer service and document storage spaces, and allow for better collaboration and communication with engineering staff to improve the overall customer experience.
