Schedule a Fire Inspection
About Schedule a Fire Inspection
Fire inspections are required for any construction project for which a Fire Code plan review has been conducted or for any project for which a Fire Protection Permit is required. Building permits will have a Fire Code plan review comments sheet attached or be noted as being subject to field inspection by the fire marshal. For more information, refer to the Fire Protection Systems Inspection Procedures. Fire Code compliance inspections should be scheduled in the MyGovernmentOnline (MGO) portal.
Fire inspections are also required for initial or renewed licenses for daycare homes and centers, nursing homes, and automotive repair facilities.
Effort will be made to honor the requested date and time based on availability. You will receive a confirmation of the date and time from the inspector once your request has been processed. It is recommended that inspections be requested at least one week in advance.
