The City of Manteca utilizes our online Citizen Access portal to schedule all inspections. The system allows for a streamlined where you can schedule your inspections, even weeks in advance for your convenience. It also allows you to see the status of your inspections, inspection results, dates scheduled, and more.        

Please note:

• When inspections are scheduled by the inspection staff the status will change from “requested” to “scheduled.”
• The time appearing in the Citizen Access Portal is only a representation of the AM or PM window. We do not schedule specific times for inspections. AM scheduled inspections are generally between 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM and PM scheduled inspections are generally between 12:00 PM -4:00 PM.
