About each permit
Fire Alarm / Sprinkler System Plan Review and Inspection
Multifamily (three or more units), townhouse, and commercial projects include a Fire Marshal fee alongside the building permit, per the Department of Building Safety's own simplified fee spreadsheet. Modifications to existing systems, standpipe systems, and other suppression systems (carbon dioxide, clean agent, dry/wet chemical, commercial kitchen suppression) are separately priced on the same schedule.
Place of Assembly Permit
Verifies the Fire Marshal's own occupancy-load qualification of a 'place of assembly.' Nashua Fire Rescue's Fire Marshal's Office Fee Schedule (Ordinance O-22-023) lists Place of assembly permits at a $50.00 inspection fee per permitted area, priced identically whether the assembly area is indoor or outside.
Food Truck/Trailer Fire Inspection
The third Nashua fee a food truck operator pays, listed on the Fire Marshal's Office Fee Schedule (Ordinance O-22-023) at $30.00 for a permit valid one year, on top of the Environmental Health Department's Mobile Food Service License and the City Clerk's Vendor's License, both recorded in separate Nashua records. Coordinated as part of the Environmental Health Department's own Mobile Food Service Vendor application process.
Child-Care Facility Fire Inspection
An itemized, banded fire-inspection fee published in the Fire Marshal's Office Fee Schedule (Ordinance O-22-023) — a different and more detailed local layer than Manchester's own Fire Prevention Bureau schedule, whose 'Day Care — Unlicensed' line names only an exempt, unlicensed family day-care inspection procedure with no stated fee. This fee applies alongside, not instead of, New Hampshire DHHS's own Child Care Programme License and the Environmental Health Department's food-service fee recorded in a separate Nashua record.
