Oakley Municipal Code Art. 5 Licenses, Fees and Costs

All Property Owners of residential rental units subject to a rental dwelling unit inspection shall pay a fee in an amount established by resolution of the City Council. The fee shall represent the estimated average time and the actual cost and expense of maintaining the rental dwelling units and providing the annual inspection, and will be used to finance the cost of the Rental Dwelling Unit Inspection program. Should the property owner fail to pay the required inspection fee, the City will recover it, in addition to accrued interest and penalties, utilizing any remedies provided by law including, but not limited to, nuisance abatement or municipal tax lien procedures established by Ordinance or state law. Penalty amounts shall be as designated by the Council by resolution and, for Building Code violations, shall reflect penalty amounts contained in the Uniform Building Code for violation of that Code.

Upon inspection, the Community Development Director or designee may instruct the owner to perform work, take action, or refrain from action to verify compliance with said codes. If the Community Development Director or designee discovers upon reinspection that the work, action, or inaction requested was not performed, the cited party shall be charged a re-inspection fee in an amount established by Resolution of the City Council. Should the cited party fail to pay the required re-inspection fee, the City will recover it, in addition to accrued interest and penalties, utilizing any remedies provided by law including nuisance abatement or municipal tax lien procedures established by Ordinance or state law.
