Rental Certificates of Occupancy

A rental certificate of occupancy (CO) is an official document issued by a local government or building department certifying that a property is safe, habitable, and compliant with building codes and zoning regulations for tenant occupancy. It is required to legally rent out a property, often in cases of new construction, major renovations, or changes in use.

Lightning Affidavits

Lightning affidavits are required by insurance companies to verify lightning damage to a property. These documents help confirm that damage was caused by a lightning event and support insurance claims and underwriting requirements.

Lightning affidavits and itemized quotes will be provided by University Electric, Inc.

Inspection Reports

We provide detailed inspection reports delivered directly to you. Each report includes clear findings and professional documentation to support builders, lenders, realtors, home buyers, and sellers throughout their project or transaction.

Inspection Fees & Payment Methods

Standard Inspection Fee

$150 Per Inspection

At State Building Inspection Services, we believe inspection pricing should be clear, fair, and predictable.

To simplify the process for builders, lenders, homeowners, and investors, we offer a straightforward flat-rate structure for standard inspections.

Flexible & Project-Based Pricing

While we offer flat-rate pricing for standard inspections, larger or multi-phase projects will qualify for customized or bundled pricing.

We are happy to work with clients to develop a fair, project-specific fee based on scope, schedule, and inspection requirements.

Certain inspections may require additional time, technical expertise, or expanded documentation. These inspections are priced individually based on project scope and requirements.

Service Areas Included

A standard service area of Elmore, Tallapoosa, Macon, Lee, Chambers, Coosa, and Montgomery counties are included in our flat-rate & flexible pricing.

Projects located outside this area may include a modest travel fee, which will always be discussed prior to scheduling.
