To Whom It May Concern:
RE: Re-Inspection Fee
The Department has instituted a $20 re-inspection fee for Smoke/Carbon Monoxide inspections needed for sale or transfer of properties. This fee will be charged when we have to return to a property to inspect because it did not pass on the original inspection. In the past we have hesitated to implement this fee. It was a difficult decision but in evaluating our records we found that we are returning numerous times to many of these inspections. Our goal for instituting this fee was to charge a reasonable fee to re-coup some of the expense of performing this service.
As we have done in the past if you have questions in regards to placement of devices, please give us a call. We will do our best to walk you through what is required over the phone.
Sincerely,
Duane Nichols
Assistant Fire Chief
