Cleveland area POS / Occupancy cost summary

Ran across this nice summary of each city in the greater Cleveland area regarding Point of Sale, Occupancy Permits, Inspections, etc. Includes contact information for each city.

http://clevelandhousehunt.com/point-of-sale-requir...

A bit dated (2015) but likely mostly accurate as these things don't change often / quickly. If people post any updates they are aware of, we can fill-in / update any blanks.

On that note, this past summer, the City of East Cleveland passed ordinances that increased occupancy permits x 10. 

If I am reading them right (I have the PDF's);
Non-Owner Occupied

Ordinance 14-17:
 $100 per unit annually for units 1 & 2, $50 for unit 3
 $100 per unit annually for all unit >4 (not sure if you save $50 on 3rd unit)

Reading this ordinance carefully, unit 4 may not actually be covered

Owner Occupied

Ordinance 15-17: 

  $100 on sale of 2-3 unit
  $400 on sale of 4-39 unit
  $1,000 on sale of >39 unit

Ordinance 16-17: 

  $100 on sale of Single Family House

Not sure if these are over and above the POS inspection fee required for a sale in East Cleveland.
