(1) An inspection fee of $250 is due upon receipt of a notice of payment due, which will be billed by the inspection agency upon completion of an inspection.

(2) Tattoo establishments are inspected annually and the reports of inspections maintained by the inspection agency for three years.

(3) When the tattoo establishment is located within the jurisdiction of a local inspection agency, the local inspection agency may establish fees needed to defray the costs of inspection and enforcement under this chapter. Inspection fees billed by a local inspection agency are paid to the local inspection agency or its designee.

(4) If an inspection agency determines that an additional physical inspection is necessary, including to review corrected deficiencies or in response to a complaint of a potential imminent health threat, the inspection agency may charge an inspection fee based on the actual cost of providing the inspection, including the inspector's time and mileage expenses. Any such fee charged shall not exceed the fee identified in subrule 22.13(1).

(5) Unpaid inspection fees are delinquent 30 days after the date of the bill. A late fee of $30 per month will be assessed to the establishment owner after a 30-day notice. If inspection fees remain unpaid after 60 days, an order to cease and desist operations will be issued by the department.
