About each permit
Child Care Facilities Fire Inspection Fee
A genuine, confirmed, city-specific fire-safety inspection fee, layered on top of Nebraska DHHS's own Child Care License recorded at the state layer. Bellevue's own Fire Department holds delegated fire-code authority directly from the Nebraska State Fire Marshal (confirmed from the State Fire Marshal's own public roster of delegated-authority cities), making this a genuinely locally-administered inspection rather than a state one billed through the city.
Fire Alarm / Fire-Extinguishing System Permit (Commercial Kitchen Hood Suppression)
A genuine, confirmed, per-device local fire-code fee — the real line item a restaurant, coffee shop, or food-truck commissary kitchen installing a range hood suppression system pays, priced entirely differently from Omaha's or Lincoln's own flat 'Place of Assembly' fire fee. Bellevue's own Fire Inspection Fee Schedule contains no equivalent Places-of-Assembly line item — the schedule prices only Hospitals, Health Care Facilities, Liquor Inspections, Child Care Inspections and Foster Care Inspections by named category, a genuine structural difference from both sister cities rather than an oversight.
Repair Garage Fire Permit (not found in Bellevue's fee schedule)
No fee applies. Unlike Omaha's fire code, which prices a named 'Repair garages and motor fuel-dispensing facilities' operational permit at $108.00, Bellevue's own Fire Inspection Fee Schedule (Hospitals, Health Care Facilities, Liquor Inspections, Child Care Inspections, Foster Care Inspections) contains no repair-garage or auto-service category. Nebraska's own Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board, recorded at the state layer, likewise licenses only dealers, wreckers and salvage operations with no repair-shop category, so an auto repair shop's local obligations in Bellevue are the same generic building, zoning and sign requirements recorded elsewhere in this file rather than any trade-specific municipal product.
