The primary reason is health and safety. Building inspections insure that the building codes established for the community are met. This include things like proper electrical, proper Plumbing and good insulation. These help prevent fires, prevent the spread of disease and reduce energy usage. Inspection make sure they building has proper support and foundation so they don't collapse. Fire alarms and suppression systems are often required, as are fire escapes and handicapped access, all of which are inspected and validated before an occupancy permit will be issued. Taxes and fees are another factor, but typically the cost of a permit simply covers the cost of the inspections. A building is property, and improvements increase the value so that more taxes are paid.
