About each permit

Mobile and/or Temporary Vendor Fire Permit

Operating without the required permit triples the applicable fee; a late annual renewal doubles it.

Fire Inspection and Plan Review

This square-footage schedule is the Fire Prevention Code's general catch-all for any inspection or permit not separately priced, including plan review — it also appears to be where a sprinkler or alarm system permit is billed, though no line item names that permit specifically. One internal reference in the underlying document to '2006 Fire Prevention Code Amendments' raises a real possibility this schedule is dated; confirm with NOFD Fire Prevention (504-658-4700) before relying on it for a large project.
