The Community Fire Protection District requires permit applications be completed, submitted, and approved for any commercial construction project. The District does not require occupancy or building permits for one and two family dwellings.
Life Safety Codes & Standards
The Community Fire Protection District has adopted the 2021 International Building Code (IBC, 2021 ed.) and 2021 International Fire Code (IFC, 2021 ed.) and related NFPA standards. The Fire Marshal’s office utilizes these code requirements during both the plan review and inspection process.
Plan Reviews
The Fire Marshal’s Division performs plan review and inspection of new construction and remodels, fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and other fire protection systems to prevent fire and/or fire spread. Plan reviews must be approved and permits issued before beginning any work. Once plan review is complete and all applicable fees have been paid, contractors may begin work.
Permit Fee Schedule
All applicable building permit fees are due at the time permits are approved.
Payment methods accepted are check, debit or credit card.
PLEASE NOTE: All debit & credit card payments will incur a 3.99% convenience fee.
