The Waukesha County Code of Ordinances requires the assessment of a "partial inspection fee" for follow-up inspections due to critical
violations noted in a routine inspection, complaint inspection, or reinspection. No fee will be charged for the first follow-up "parital
inspection". Each "partial inspection" after the first will be assessed a fee equal to 1/4 the annual license fee. Charging fees for partial
inspections provides more program equity in assessing the costs of these inspections to those establishments receiving the service.!!!
