Fire Plan Review, Fire Permits and Fire Inspections (Unincorporated Seminole and Winter Springs)

The Seminole County Fire Prevention Bureau's page states that it enforces the Florida Fire Prevention Code and local laws adopted by the state and county, and that it provides its services to unincorporated Seminole County and the City of Winter Springs. Its services include development reviews of site plans, plans review for new construction and fire protection systems, acceptance inspections before occupancy or use, and State Required Fire Inspections for business owners who operate adult care facilities, child care facilities, private schools, transient public lodging and public food service establishments.

The page also states that all unpaid re-inspection fees must be paid before a fire inspection can be scheduled.
