SECTION 158:1-3-9. Fees for plan review and project review for code conformance

(a)   Plan review fee. For formal review of project plans pursuant to 59 O.S. §§ 1002.1, 1681.1 and 1850.3a, the Construction Industries Board shall charge a fee of $ 75.00 per hour per review, one hour minimum, not to exceed $200 for any single review.

(b)   Project review inspection fee. For inspection services related to a project review for code conformance pursuant to 59 O.S. § 1000.5(A)(2), the Construction Industries Board shall charge a fee of $ 75.00 per hour, per inspection, one hour minimum, not to exceed $200 for any single inspection.

(c)   Limitations on inspection fees. The fee required in subsection (b) herein only applies in localities where the Construction Industries Board is the authority having jurisdiction for code enforcement purposes and the inspection services are performed at the request of a contractor or property owner. The Construction Industries Board shall not charge a fee for inspections related to licensing or licensee investigations.

(d)   Each code inspection requires separate fee. A separate fee shall be charged pursuant to subsection (b) herein based on the trade (plumbing, electrical or mechanical) work inspected for code conformance by the Construction Industries Board.

(e)   Subsequent code inspection requires separate fee. A separate fee shall be charged pursuant to subsection (b) herein for each subsequent inspection of work for conformance to a code, including scheduled progress inspections performed at different intervals during the stages of construction.

(f)   Notice requirement for work in incorporated areas without municipal inspector. No individual, business, company, corporation, limited liability company, association, or other entity subject to the provisions of The Plumbing License Law of 1955, the Electrical License Act, or the Mechanical Licensing Act, shall install, modify or alter plumbing, electrical facilities, or mechanical systems in any incorporated area of this State which has not adopted a State recognized code and which has not appointed an inspector for the respective trade without providing notice of such plumbing, electrical or mechanical work to the Board. The notification must be submitted on a notice form provided by the Board.

(g)   Procedures to request inspection. All requested inspections require advance notification, and in no event shall such notification be given less than two (2) business days before the work is to be inspected. To request an inspection, contact the trade supervisor in the trade for which the inspection is requested. Once an inspection request has been received an inspector will contact the requestor within one (1) business day to schedule a time for the inspection. Failure to provide sufficient notice may result in the inability to provide the requested inspection within the time frame requested. If upon inspection the work is determined not to be in conformance with the applicable code as adopted by the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission, the inspector may issue a notice of violation pursuant to this Chapter. Any inspection conducted by the Construction Industries Board only determines if the electrical, mechanical, or plumbing work was completed according to the recently adopted code and the Board, does not warranty or guarantee any work.
