Request for service
Seattle Mun. Code § 7.04.650
in effect7.04.650 - Request for service
A. "Special inspection service," as used in this code, means all inspection service made on the owner's request. Special inspection service fees are additional to the fees required under the annual registration. Special inspection service fees are to be paid directly to the Department of Finance and Administrative Services.
B. The fee for special inspection service shall be $60 per hour of inspector time with a one hour minimum. All inspections will result in an invoice to the owner for each hour of inspection per inspector. The invoice shall reflect time spent per inspector, to include preparation and travel time to the site with any time spent past an hour billed to the next quarter hour. Example: If two inspectors took one hour and 20 minutes to complete an inspection, the invoice would total $180 (two inspectors at 1.5 hours each).
