About each permit
Fire Permits
The Fire Department's own Fire Permits & Inspections page, read directly, confirms a mobile food unit needs a Fire Department permit and inspection whenever it includes 'cooking operations that produce grease-laden vapors or smoke' — grouped there among the same activities (operational permits, open burning, temporary tent/membrane structures, firework sales and displays) that this fee schedule prices. The Master Fee Schedule's Fire section, read here in full, has no line item naming mobile food units specifically; its $75.00 Fire Code Specified Operational Permit is the schedule's only generic operational-permit charge and the sole fee category a qualifying mobile food unit's Fire Department permit could be billed under.
