Plain English Summary

AI-GENERATED
Removes local governments' authority to charge administrative fees on private inspections.

Local governments could charge a limited administrative fee, capped at their actual clerical and supervisory cost, when an owner or contractor used a private provider instead of the government's own building inspectors. This bill deletes that allowance entirely.

After this bill, a local jurisdiction may not charge any fee, administrative or otherwise, for building inspections performed through a private provider. The rest of the private-provider inspection process is unchanged.

KEY PROVISIONS
§ 1 Administrative fee for private-provider inspections eliminated majors. 553.791(2)(b)

AILocal jurisdictions could charge a reasonable administrative fee, capped at their actual clerical and supervisory cost, when an owner or contractor used a private provider for building inspections. This bill deletes that allowance, so no fee of any kind may be charged in that situation.
