Here in CT(USA) inspections are free, registration is required annually 1
October and when hives are relocated, also free. (they could improve on their
registration form)
   Pretty much done on a when they get to it basis unless you call with
problems, it's only recently they stopped laying the inspector off in winter.

    They do inform you when they discover a problem in an apiary you should
know about, for example resistant foulbrood. They also provide a pamphlet
listing beekeepers with hives registered by town which is handy in finding a
beekeeper to pick up a swarm before it lost.
  I personally take Archimedes view of the government.
