(a) The Township Board shall establish from time to time by resolution an appropriate fee for registration, licensing and inspections for property subject to this chapter. Such fees shall be effective thirty days after publication of an adopting resolution in a newspaper of general circulation in the Township. Failure to pay fees as required by this chapter shall, in addition to the penalties described below, result in the suspension and/or revocation of a license. All fees shall be payable at the Building Department.
(b) In addition to any other remedies available at law, the Township may impose a lien on the premises for any unpaid fees. Said lien may be collected in the same manner as provided by the general laws of the state relative to ad valorem real property taxes.
(c) Registration fees shall be due and payable in full at the time of filing the registration form. License fees shall be due and payable in full prior to the issuance of any license. Inspection fees shall be due and payable upon scheduling an inspection date with the consent of the lessee/tenant, or otherwise upon completion of the inspection. A property owner or property manager is not liable for an inspection fee if the inspection is not performed and the Building Department is the direct cause of the failure to perform the inspection.
