ADRIAN — The Adrian City Commission voted unanimously Monday to raise fire inspection fees for businesses, with the smallest buildings seeing a 50% increase.
Under the new schedule, the fee for a fire safety inspection at a building of 5,000 square feet or less rises from $100 to $150.
Reinspections will remain free when violations have been corrected. If violations remain, the fee rises from $100 to $150 per visit.
Fire Chief AJ Armstrong says the increase will help cover the cost of running the inspection program. His memo lists Wednesday, November 4, as the start date.
