D. This Section does not prohibit a parish or municipality from recovering reasonable costs associated with reviewing a building permit, issuing a building permit, and performing inspections to verify code compliance.

G. This Section does not affect the authority of a parish or municipality to manage or operate a publicly-owned utility.  H.
