About each permit
Day-Care Center Operational Permit (Fire Marshal)
Listed on the Fire Marshal's Office FY 2020-21 BOA-approved fee schedule under 'Operational Permits — To Operate an occupancy per use of special hazards' as 'Day-Care Center,' $50.00. The Fire Marshal's Office 'Permits, Licenses, and Fees' page now links a '2025 - 2026 BOA Fee List'; confirm the current figure directly with the Fire Marshal's Office (203-946-6232). Stacks on top of the Health Department's own daycare inspection fee and the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood's state license recorded at the state layer — the City Plan Department's own schedule prices no New Haven-specific zoning fee for child care use beyond the general Certificate of Zoning Compliance recorded above.
Fire Marshal Inspection — Place of Assembly / Commercial Kitchen
These figures are from the Fire Marshal's Office FY 2020-21 BOA-approved fee schedule; the Office's 'Permits, Licenses, and Fees' page now links a '2025 - 2026 BOA Fee List,' so confirm current figures with the Fire Marshal's Office (203-946-6232) before budgeting. This is in addition to the Health Department's own Food Service Establishment License and its plan review fee recorded above — a restaurant or coffee shop installing a commercial kitchen hood or suppression system clears both a health-driven and a fire-driven review.
