From time to time the department or its designated agent shall inspect each project for which loan insurance was approved, as needed, and if the inspection so warrants, the department or agent shall certify that the work has been performed upon the project, or purchases have been made, in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and that payment of an installment of the loan proceeds is due to the borrower. The department shall charge the borrower a fee for these inspections and certifications, that in no instance shall exceed four dollars ($4) for each one thousand dollars ($1,000) of the borrower’s loan that is insured. These fees shall be deposited in the fund.
