Tonkawa amends code to pass inspection fees through to building owners
Summary
Council adopted an ordinance to allow pass-through inspection fees for construction permits; Code Enforcement Official Danny Grimes said fees will be tied to inspection hours and City Attorney Lee Stout said costs will be passed to property owners.
The Tonkawa City Council voted April 21 to amend the municipal code to allow pass-through of inspection fees incurred during construction projects. Code Enforcement Official Danny Grimes told the council a standard list of required inspections will appear on each permit and that fees would be determined by the hours required to complete them.
City Attorney Lee Stout clarified in the record that those inspection costs "would be passed on to the home or business owner." The ordinance as described in the minutes would add Section 5-114 to Chapter 5, Article 1 of the Tonkawa Municipal Code; the minutes do not include a full ordinance text or the specific hourly fee schedule.
