About each permit
Residential Access & Water Supply Permit (in-home daycare)
A District-specific fee listed under the Nampa Fire Protection District's own 'Residential & In Home Daycare Permits' heading at $200.00 — verifying fire apparatus access and adequate water supply for a residential property being used as a licensed in-home daycare. This sits alongside, not instead of, the $25.00 Day Care Inspection fee and the City's own $100.00 Home Occupation - Daycare zoning permit, both recorded as separate entries.
Places of Assembly Permit (Nampa Fire Protection District)
The City Clerk's Licenses page lists no Places-of-Assembly license; this is a Nampa Fire Protection District-issued permit, priced on the District's own fee schedule at $120.00 for the first year and $85.00 on yearly renewal. It is triggered by a place of business gathering a crowd over the occupant-load threshold set by the International Fire Code, and is relevant to a larger restaurant, fitness studio, or retail space.
Fire Sprinkler, Alarm & Commercial Kitchen Hood Suppression System Fees
The sprinkler/alarm permit fees and the 20% fire code plan review apply broadly to any commercial tenant improvement or new construction with fire protection systems, across the industries listed here. The $175-per-hood-unit Cooking Hood Extinguishing System Permit is the specific, real line item a restaurant, coffee shop, or food-truck commissary kitchen pays for its range-hood suppression system, confirmed directly from the Nampa Fire Protection District's own current fee schedule.
Mobile Food Truck Permit (Nampa Fire Protection District)
The Nampa Fire Protection District — an independent special district governed by its own elected Board of Commissioners, not a City of Nampa department — layers this $45.00 fire-code permit on top of Southwest District Health's own mobile food establishment permit and the City's Peddler/Solicitor License and Temporary Use Permit. The City's own Peddlers License Application states 'Mobile Vendors & Food Trucks require Proof of Current Fire Inspection,' tying this District permit into the City's own licensing checklist.
Repair Garage Fire Permit (not found)
No fee applies. The Nampa Fire Protection District's own current Permits & Applications Fee Schedule has no comparable line at all for a dedicated repair-garage or motor-fuel-dispensing operational permit — the same genuine finding already on record in this project's Meridian file, and a real difference from Boise Fire's own confirmed $140-per-3-year Repair Garages and Motor Fuel-Dispensing Permit. A generic Hazardous Materials Storage Permit ($200.00, yearly renewal $200.00) exists on the same District schedule and would apply to any business exceeding International Fire Code maximum allowable quantities, auto-repair included, but it is not an auto-repair-specific product, so it is not recorded here as a confirmed fee for this industry. An auto repair shop in Nampa is still subject to the same generic building, zoning, sign, and fire code plan review requirements recorded elsewhere in this file.
Day Care Inspection Fee (Nampa Fire Protection District)
Required for both home and outside-the-home childcare facilities as part of Idaho's own State licensing process. The District's own current fee schedule lists this figure twice, independently, in two different sections of the same document ($25.00 under 'Commercial Business Applications' and again under 'Residential & In Home Daycare Permits'), confirming it applies regardless of whether the daycare operates from a home or a standalone facility.
