About each permit
Child Care Facility Fire Inspection Fee
The Planning Division's own child daycare requirements page states that Boise Fire requires an inspection and fee, for both in-home and outside-the-home childcare facilities, as part of Idaho's State licensing process — a local fire-safety layer on top of Idaho's own Child Care License recorded at the state layer. Boise Fire's Fire Permits and Service Fees schedule, effective October 1, 2026 (FY2027), lists the 'Inspections Required by Other Agencies Fee' at $104.00 — the same named application the childcare-specific page points to. The previous FY2025 schedule listed this line at $140.00.
Mobile Food Preparation Vehicles Permit (Boise Fire)
A genuine, confirmed city fire-code layer, separate from and in addition to Central District Health's own health permit recorded above. Boise Fire's own dedicated page states this permit applies specifically to 'vehicles that contain cooking equipment that produce smoke or grease-laden vapors for the purpose of preparing and serving food to the public' — a food truck limited to pre-packaged or cold food with no such cooking equipment would not trigger it, which is why this record is conditional rather than mandatory across every food truck.
Repair Garage Permit (Boise Fire)
A city-specific fire-code fee for the auto-repair industry, priced at $145.00 as the 'Repair Garage and Service Stations Permit' on Boise Fire's Fire Permits and Service Fees schedule effective October 1, 2026 (FY2027), and described on Boise Fire's dedicated Repair Garage Permit page, which requires prevention-plan drawings and a statement of operations describing materials used and stored on site.
