Enforcement inspection charges
We may charge a fee for inspecting a property if:
- you fail to comply with a licence condition, or
- we receive a complaint about the premises (unless it is frivolous or vexatious)
Charges will be proportionate and based on the officer’s hourly rate. We follow our Enforcement Policy for Environmental Health when deciding whether to charge.
If we charge a fee for an inspection, we must:
- provide a report to the licence holder within 28 days, or
- refund the fee if no report is provided within that time
