Reinspection policy
A reinspection fee may be assessed on each inspection when work is not complete or when corrections
called for are not made (Community Development Fee Schedule/Resolution No. 2009-127). While the property owner may enter into a private agreement with the applicant to pay for reinspections fees, ultimately, the property owner will be held responsible for inspection fees. Each building permit provides for two inspections requests; additional re-inspections must be charged at the employee billable rate.
- A reinspection fee will be assessed on projects that are not ready for inspection. “Not Ready” means that the work was not sufficiently complete to accomplish the requested inspections. Also, a reinspection fee will be assessed when items listed on a “Notice of Corrections” have not been completed. For example, insufficient readiness could include a roof permit inspection requiring more than two visits to site due to multiple corrections.
- Should the building inspector determine that a reinspection fee is appropriate, a “Reinspection Fee slip will be left at your job site. No further building inspections will occur until the fee has been paid.
- Reinspection fee payments need to be made at the City of Rio Vista Building Division office at One Main Street at the Community Development counter. A minimum reinspection fee of $90.00 will be assessed. Please make your check in the amount of $90.00 payable to the City of Rio Vista. If you are paying cash, please have exact change.
- An inspection can be scheduled providing that the reinspection fee is paid by 8:30 am on the morning of the scheduled inspection.
- A canceled inspection will be accepted (if canceled by 8:30 am) the morning of the inspection.
