About each permit
Fire Department Permits and Inspection Fees
Triggered by new construction or remodeling that installs or replaces a sprinkler, standpipe, or suppression system, and by a commercial kitchen's range-hood/Ansul suppression system for restaurants, coffee shops, and food-truck commissary kitchens. Fees collected are deposited in the Fire Marshal's Education and Training Account.
Day Care Fire Prevention Inspection (Little Rock Fire Department)
The Fire Prevention Division's own page lists 'Daycare & Foster care home Inspections' among its named services and marks them '(Fee)', so the Fire Department charges for this inspection. The page publishes no amount, and Ordinance No. 22,204's itemized Fire Department Permits and Inspection Fees section, which prices sprinkler installs, fire alarm tests, tent, Ansul system and Knox-box inspections by name, lists no day-care inspection line, so no dollar figure is given here. Contact Fire Prevention (501-918-3700) for the current fee and for how the inspection fits a facility's Arkansas child care licensing.
