(4) If the municipality assesses a civil penalty for a violation under a building inspection program, the amount of the civil penalty assessed for the violation may not exceed the maximum civil penalty amount authorized for an equivalent specialty code violation under ORS 455.895. (5) The costs incurred by a municipality in providing notice and administrative process under this section are building inspection program administration and enforcement costs for the purpose of fee adoption under ORS 455.210.

A municipality may accept the transfer of the administration and enforcement of a code under this subsection without becoming subject to ORS 455.148 as a result of accepting the transfer.
