Sec. 26-6. - Fire prevention inspection fees.

These fees are governed by RIGL chapter 23-28.2, section 23-28.2-27 and are subject to change if alternate fees are adopted

The fire department shall assess an inspection fee for any inspection performed by the department pursuant to any provision of the state fire code including any rule or regulation of the state fire marshal. In the case of any commercial, industrial, manufacturing, educational, religious or governmental use, the fee shall be payable by the licensee of the property inspected if the occupant of the property inspected holds any license issued by the board of licenses, otherwise the fee shall be payable by the lessee of the property inspected or, if none, then by the owner of the property. In the case of any residential property, the fee shall payable by the owner of the property.

The fee shall be waived if, after inspection, no violation of any provision of the Narragansett Code of Ordinances or the Rhode Island State Fire Code including any rule or regulation of the state fire marshal has been found. Each subsequent re-inspection shall constitute an inspection for which a separate fee shall be payable if continuing violations are found. No inspection fee shall be assessed against the town, or any department, board, or commission thereof.
