About each permit
Fire Prevention Permit
Required for installing or modifying a fire alarm system, sprinkler or standpipe system, or a cooking-hood suppression system, and for underground/aboveground fire-protection-related storage tanks. This $25.00/$1,000-with-$150.00-minimum figure, listed on the Fire Marshal's own permit description, matches the identical rate the separate Permit Fees brochure lists under 'Fire Sprinkler Permits' — an independent cross-confirmation across two of the City's own documents. The Fire Marshal's Office also conducts a separate Annual Fire and Life Safety Inspection that checks a business's Public Occupancy Permit status (listed elsewhere on this page) alongside fire-code compliance items, but no distinct fee for that annual inspection itself is published.
