Under Lawrence Code of Ordinances ch. 15.12 § 15.12.070, operators who apply for occupancy permits should budget for the $75.00 permit fee at the time of application. Compliant operators also tend to keep scheduled inspection appointments, since a missed appointment triggers an additional $50.00 charge, as does any reinspection that becomes necessary. Tracking inspection dates carefully and ensuring the property is ready before the scheduled visit helps avoid these additional costs.
