FEES ASSOCIATED WITH ORDERS AUTHORIZED
BY THE LOS ANGELES MUNICIPAL CODE (LAMC)

The fees the City charges are primarily designed to recover partial costs for services performed monitoring your property and obtaining compliance with the Zoning and Building Codes. Information contained on this page is intended to assist you with understanding the fees you are responsible to pay. All information contained herein is not a substitute for the language and explanations found in the Order to Comply. You should communicate with your inspector in every situation .

Code Violation Inspection Fee (CVIF) – LAMC 98.0421
The CVIF of $356.16 must be paid when you have been issued an Order to Comply. You will receive an invoice and you must pay this fee within 30 days of the invoice print date to avoid late penalties. Late penalties combined with the original CVIF will total more than $1,246.00. This fee must be paid even if you comply with the Order before its due date.

Non-Compliance Fee (NCF) – LAMC 98.0411
The NCF of $660 may be assessed if you fail to comply with the order within 15 days following the compliance date found on the Order to Comply or any approved extension. To avoid paying this fee it is best to correct the violations listed in the Order and contact the inspector to arrange an inspection or conference. Once this fee has been assessed, you will receive an invoice and you will have 30 days to make payment. Paying late will result in penalties totaling more than $2,310.00.

Investigation Fee (IF) – LAMC 98.0402
This fee is only collected when a permit is required to bring your property into compliance with the Code.
When the permit is issued you will be paying double the permit fee, but never less than the minimum
$400.00 fee.

You are required to obtain permits for alterations to your property and in some instances you will be required to submit building plans to the Department of Building and Safety for approval.

Modification Fee (MF) – LAMC 98.0403.1
You pay this fee if you cannot correct the violation(s) within the compliance period and would like additional time. You will need to apply for this extension in person at your local Code Enforcement office referenced on the Order to Comply below the inspector’s signature. The length of time will be determined by the supervisor and inspector. The cost for this modification of the code, aka: “extension of time”, is in most cases $346.62. However, this fee varies according to circumstances and may be more.

FAILURE TO PAY ANY OF THESE ASSESSED FEES MAY RESULT IN THE DEPARTMENT PLACING A LIEN ON YOUR PROPERTY. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT TO CORRECT ANY VIOLATIONS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
