Mich. Admin. Code R. 285.629.8 - Fees schedule for department services

Rule 8.

(1) The director shall charge an inspection fee based on the cost to the department of making the inspection and shall adjust the schedule of fees for the costs of inspection and investigation of alleged violations as required by the act and these rules.

(2) The director shall review and adjust the schedule of fees at the end of each fiscal year.

(3) The commission of agriculture and rural development shall approve all adjustments to the fees before they are adopted.

(4) In any given fiscal year, the director may only increase inspection fees by not more than an amount determined by the state treasurer to reflect the cumulative annual percentage change in the Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint consumer price index (CPI) over the 1-year period.

(a) A fee adjustment under this rule must not exceed 5%, even if the state treasurer determines the cumulative annual change in the CPI is greater than 5%.

(b) If the cumulative annual change of the CPI over a 1-year period is less than zero, a cumulative annual percentage change of zero must be used for the adjustment.

(c) The adjustment must be rounded to the nearest dollar to set each years fee under this rule. However, the absolute value of the adjustment must be carried over and used to calculate the next annual adjustment.
