City of Newark Office of the Fire Marshal (within the Code Enforcement Division)

Fire Safety Business Registration

Confirmed at $100.00 per year from the City's own current 2026 Fee Schedule ('Fire license (per year)' and, under a separate 'Fire' heading, 'Fire Safety Registration ... per registration'). The registration form's own enumerated list of occupancies required to register annually explicitly names, among the ten industries covered here: 'Eating and Drinking establishments' (both under and over a 49-person occupant load, the latter regardless of alcohol service), 'Repair Garages and Service Stations,' 'Retail Stores and Other Mercantile over 8,000 sq. ft.,' and 'Mobile Food Trucks' — the retail-store trigger is therefore conditional on exceeding 8,000 square feet, disclosed here rather than applied to every retail store. Coffee shop, childcare, fitness-studio, veterinary, salon, and contractor are not named among the form's own listed examples, so this listing does not apply the requirement to them, though the form states its list as 'examples' rather than exhaustive. The same fee schedule separately prices a $25.00 Fire Alarm System Report and a $25.00 Fire Suppression System report (each with a $25.00 re-inspection fee) for businesses equipped with those systems, not built as separate records here.
