Title
Discussion of issues relating to the assessment of fees for various inspections conducted by the Deer Park Fire Marshal’s Office.
Body
Summary:
It is becoming more common for local governments to collect fees associated with the conduction of inspections by the Fire Marshal’s Office. These represent an attempt to offset the time and resources consumed by these inspections and the workload demand on the office, as opposed to the conduction of other community-oriented programs such as public fire education and prevention programs. A collection of potential inspection-types and associated fees is provided for discussion and to demonstrate the potential revenue.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
These fees would generate revenue to offset the time and resources for conducting the associated inspections.
Recommended action
