About each permit
Fire Marshal Inspection (Business Occupancy Checklist)
The baseline fire-safety inspection every commercial business completes as Step 3 of the City's own Business Occupancy Checklist — required before a Certificate of Occupancy can be issued — carries no separately published fee of its own, so no fee applies to that routine sign-off itself. The Fire Marshal's Office does separately publish a genuinely detailed Construction Permit Fee, Operational Permit Fee, and Inspection Penalty Fee schedule covering specific systems and activities: $100.00 each for altering an automatic fire extinguishing system, a fire alarm/detection system, or fire pumps; $300.00 for hazardous materials; and inspection penalty fees — charged only after a 30-day follow-up re-inspection still finds uncorrected violations — ranging from $100 for a Business Occupancy up to $1,000 for a High Hazard or Institutional Occupancy. One named Operational Permit line item applies to a specific industry — a $50.00 "Repair Garage" permit for auto-repair shops — listed as its own requirement. The Fire Department Permit and Fee Schedule lists no operational permit named specifically for restaurant, retail, salon, fitness, veterinary or childcare occupancies; activity-based permits on the same schedule (for example Places of Assembly, $50.00) apply wherever that activity occurs.
Fire Code Operational Permit — Repair Garage
This is a genuine, industry-specific fire-code permit distinct from the general Business Privilege License and the baseline occupancy fire inspection every business completes — the Fire Marshal's own published fee schedule names "Repair Garage" as one of roughly forty specific Operational Permit categories, reflecting the flammable/combustible-liquid handling and hot-work activity typical of an auto-repair shop. It is additional to, not a substitute for, the Commercial Building Permit and Fire Dept. plan review recorded above for any construction or renovation work at the same location.
