About each permit
Fire Prevention Permits — operational permits (places of assembly, open flames/candles in dining areas, hood suppression, mobile food preparation vehicles, tents, spray booths) and fire protection system construction permits
Commercial kitchens with hood suppression, dining rooms using open flames or candles, places of assembly, mobile food preparation vehicles with smoke- or grease-producing appliances, auto-repair paint booths and tents over 400 square feet need Fire Prevention operational permits; new or altered sprinkler, alarm and suppression systems need construction permits. Each permit's total is a $65 administrative fee plus a $195 plan review fee plus the permit fee itself (never less than $130); annual renewals cost the administrative fee plus the permit fee, with a $130 late fee for each 30-day period past due. An auto-repair shop with a spray booth or dipping area pays $130 per booth or area under Table 108.2.6(1), the same table that prices open flames and candles — a separate line item from the hood-suppression and mobile-food-vehicle operational permits, which the fee tables do not price individually beyond the $130 minimum. Code §13.04.070 was re-amended on April 21, 2026 by Ordinance No. 5365, after its December 2025 enactment by Ordinance No. 5321, so a permit holder should confirm the current text is being applied. The Fire Code allows these amounts to rise by up to 3% at the start of each fiscal year; ask Annual Operational Permits at (702) 455-3019 for the amount currently being assessed. Fire Prevention also reviews every general business license application except home occupations.
