Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District

Fire Business License Inspection and Operational Permits — Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District

Resolution R25-0000145, adopted December 16, 2025 by the Washoe County Commission and the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District Board, adopts the fire permit and service fee schedule for all area within the district and for unincorporated Washoe County outside the boundaries of another fire authority, and appoints TMFPD to enforce it on the county's behalf; the resolution states that it carries forward the fees previously adopted in Ordinance No. 1650. It does not cover Reno or Sparks, which have their own fire departments, or Incline Village/Crystal Bay, which the county's Fire Districts GIS layer shows in the separate North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District. Under the adopted schedule, an initial business license fire inspection is $80 per required inspection, an annual operational permit is $80 each, and a temporary operational permit is $100; the first two re-inspections carry no fee, and the third and later cost $80 each, while a same-day inspection costs $160. Hazardous materials permit fees run from $80 to $880 under the ranges set in the schedule. For construction, fire plan review and inspection costs 12% of the calculated county building permit fee plus a 4% Fire Tech fee. TMFPD has posted a proposed replacement schedule on its Fire Code page; the adopted December 16, 2025 schedule remains the one in force until a replacement is adopted.
