About each permit
Fire Inspection — Institutional/Residential Daycare
A day care center is also billed under the building permit's Occupancy Group I (Institutional) rate — $2.40/sq ft, minimum $5,000/maximum $125,000 — if new construction or a qualifying alteration is involved. Arapahoe County Public Health separately inspects the food-service side: Full Day $255, Partial Day $190, Plan Review $120.
Fire Inspection
Aurora Fire Rescue separately requires a Mobile Food Preparation Vehicle (MFPV) operational permit for any food truck with an enclosed, grease-producing cooking area (mandatory since late 2022, with the department's own page stating operational permit fees are required 'effective March 2026') — no dollar amount for this permit is published in this record; contact Aurora Fire Rescue for the current fee.
