•The building inspection department is authorized to assess re-inspection fees. This $65 fee is usually assessed when it is obvious that an inspection trip has wasted the inspectors’ time and thereby inconveniences other people who have requested inspections that same day and are actually ready. When a re-inspection fee has been assessed, no additional inspections will be performed at that job site until it has been paid. A re-inspection fee may be assessed for any of the following:

• Failing to provide premise I.D.
• When the work for which the inspection is requested is not complete when the inspector arrives.
• When corrections previously called for are not complete when the inspector arrives for re-inspection.
• When approved plans or the field permit card are not readily available to the inspector.
• For failure to provide access to a project on the date for which the inspection is requested.
• For deviating from the approved plans without prior review and approval.

It is the intent of the building inspection department to provide prompt service and the greatest possible cooperation with contractors within the framework of the building permit process, available manpower, and available time. Understanding of these limits and cooperation on the part of homeowners and contractors will improve this performance and allow inspectors to more efficiently serve all builders.
