Section 3-7-6 of the Prospect Heights Property Rental Code establishes a fee schedule that applies whenever rental property inspections are conducted under section 3-7-2 of the same chapter. The initial inspection carries a fee of $100, while the first reinspection and any subsequent reinspections within the same calendar year each cost $175. This fee structure has been in effect since January 1, 2008, as established by Ordinance 0-07-32.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-7-6, compliant property owners and managers pay the required inspection fees before each inspection takes place — $100 for the first inspection and $175 for each reinspection within a calendar year. Operators who address code issues promptly after an initial inspection can minimize the number of reinspections and associated fees they incur. Keeping records of fee payments and inspection outcomes helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with the Prospect Heights Property Rental Code.

Section 3-7-6 sets out the fees that landlords — not tenants — are responsible for paying in connection with rental inspections conducted under section 3-7-2. Understanding this fee structure can help tenants recognize that the cost of inspections and reinspections falls on the property owner, which may be relevant if a landlord attempts to pass those costs along. Tenants who have questions about how inspection fees are being handled can reach out to the Prospect Heights municipal offices or a local tenant-rights organization for general information.
