For people who have had to have inspections for permit work what are my
rights as a homeowner?

I'm having an inspector come out to examine some work I did recently in
the shop and am curious what my rights are as a citizen. Does the
inspector have the right to roam freely about my house looking for
problems and mistakes or is he/she constrained to just the task at hand?

The electrician who did the work made it sound like the inspector could
pretty much do whatever they wanted once inside - which makes me wonder
how that wouldn't violate my 4th amendment rights.

Sounds like common sense rules here.

Be polite, diplomatic, and accomodating and the inspection should be just
fine.

Actually I just got back my response from the inspectors office on
drywall.

Repairing drywall requires a permit. Meaning if I put a doorknob through
my wall I have to get a permit to repair it. How do these people sleep at
night?

do you need a permit for brushing your teeth too?

i'd move.
