Section 5:28A-2.2 - Fees for inspection

(a) The municipality shall charge the dwelling owner or landlord a fee sufficient to cover the cost of the periodic lead-based paint inspection, including the cost of hiring a lead evaluation contractor, where applicable. These fees shall be solely dedicated to meeting the costs of implementing and enforcing this chapter and shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) In addition to these fees, each municipality shall assess an additional fee of $ 20.00 per unit inspected by a lead evaluation contractor or permanent local agency for the purposes of the Lead Hazard Control Assistance Act, P.L. 2003, c. 311 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-437.1 et seq.), concerning lead hazard control work, unless the unit owner demonstrates that the Department has already assessed an additional inspection fee of $ 20.00 pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 at P.L. 2003, c. 311 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-437.10). The fees collected pursuant to this subsection shall be deposited into the Lead Hazard Control Assistance Fund established pursuant to Section 4 at P.L. 2003, c. 311 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-437.4).

(c) In a common interest community, any inspection fee charged pursuant to this chapter shall be the responsibility of the unit owner and not the homeowners' association, unless the association is the owner of the unit.
