That sounds extremely odd.
If one has a building permit and is going along with the plan, there are no fines that can be issued in Washington. Fines are only issued when and by safety inspectors or a fine can be issued if you've failed to get a permit. Typically if no permit is present they will issue a stop work order first and if you ignore it then you can be fined. Or; they can issue a stop work order if you have a permit and something of safety like a structural issue arises and you have to fix the problem before continuing the rest of the job. But no fines for pouring something too early or doing something and forgetting the inspection portion. They can order an x-ray on concrete if you poured without having the bar looked at... but a fine?
That's sounds like a total scam to me and not within the confines of law.
