About each permit
Place of Assembly Permit (Annual Inspection)
A genuinely different structure from both Manchester ($100.00 one-time) and Nashua ($50.00 one-time): Concord's own current fee workbook explicitly labels this 'Place of Assembly (annual inspection)' at $115.00, confirming it recurs every year rather than being paid once at issuance.
Day-Care Facility Fire Inspection
As published in § 26-16-4(7) (Inspection Fees) of the City's FY27 fee ordinance workbook (effective July 1, 2026), the Fire Department's day-care inspection fee is banded by facility size: $50.00 for a family day-care home (up to 6 children), $55.00 for a group day-care home (7-12 children) and $80.00 for a day-care center or nursery. It is the same structural pattern Manchester and Nashua both show, applied alongside, not instead of, New Hampshire DHHS's Child Care Programme License and the Class IV food-service fee listed as a separate Concord requirement.
Fire Suppression / Alarm System Plan Review and Inspection
Jointly administered by Code Administration's Building & Code Services and the Fire Department, reflected in the fee workbook's own joint 'Comm Dev./Fire' department coding for this section. Modifications to existing suppression or alarm systems are separately priced on the same schedule at lower banded rates.
