Interactive Voice Response

The City of Bellevue uses an automated telephone answering system called interactive voice response (IVR) to provide a variety of inspection services. The system is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week and provides real-time information.

Interactive Voice Response System Tips

Listen carefully to all instructions.

If you are calling regarding a permit, have the permit in front of you; the permit number and the code numbers (on the back of the permit) are necessary for the inspections

to be scheduled.

Have a pen and paper ready to write down the confirmation number and other important scheduling information.

Don't hang up until the entire call is completed; otherwise, the system can't process the request.

With a cell phone, make sure there is a good, clear signal to successfully use the IVR system.
