(2) 
Section C105.4 is hereby amended in its entirety to read:
The code official is authorized to accept reports of approved inspection agencies, provided such agencies satisfy the requirements as to qualifications and reliability. In lieu of inspection by City employees, the building official may require a written certification that a building meets or exceeds minimum requirements, if the certification is: (i) signed by a code-certified inspector (as defined in V.T.C.A., Health and Safety Code § 388.02) not employed by the city, and (ii) accompanied by an approved inspection checklist, properly completed, signed and dated by the inspector. If the fees of the code-certified inspector are paid by the City, the amount shall be added to the building permit fees otherwise payable. With approval from the building official, a permittee may pay such fees directly to an independent inspection firm. Only code-certified inspectors or inspectors as approved by the currently adopted edition of the IECC may perform inspections and enforce this code in the City. A copy of all approved inspections, rough-in and final shall be provided to the city prior to final inspections being requested.
