About each permit
Fire Protection System Permit
Banded on floor area: $50 up to 5,000 sq ft, $100 from 5,001 to 12,000, $150 from 12,001 to 24,000 and $200 above 24,000. One fee covers all of it — automatic fire-extinguishing systems, compressed gas systems, fire alarm and detection systems, fire pumps and related equipment, and standpipe systems, whether installed, moved or modified. Compare with Grand Prairie, which prices the same work by device count instead.
Fire Construction Permit
$50 to install, modify or remove flammable and combustible liquid tanks and piping, install or modify an LP-gas tank, install or modify a private fire hydrant, install or modify a spray room, dip tank or spray booth, erect a temporary membrane structure or tent, or fit a vent hood suppression system. A tent permit for public access of at least 200 square feet is also $50.
Fire State Licensing Inspection
$30 up to 5,000 sq ft, $50 from 5,001 to 12,000, $100 from 12,001 to 24,000 and $200 above 24,000. This is the fire inspection required for state licensing of nursing homes, foster homes, ICF/MR homes, hospitals and daycare — so a childcare operator needs this alongside the health district's $100 daycare inspection, and the two are charged by different departments on different bases.
Fire Operational Permit
A flat $50, whichever operation it covers — and the list is long enough that most commercial operators will find themselves on it: amusement buildings, battery systems, carnivals and fairs, combustible dust-producing operations, combustible fibres, compressed gases, cryogenic fluids, cutting and welding, dry cleaning plants, exhibits and trade shows, explosives and fireworks, flammable and combustible liquids, hazardous materials, high-piled storage, industrial ovens, liquid or gas fuelled vehicles inside assembly buildings, LP-gas, lumber yards and woodworking plants, open burning, places of assembly where alcohol is consumed, pyrotechnics, repair garages and service stations, spraying and dipping operations, tents and temporary membrane structures, and waste handling or wrecking yards. A restaurant with a bar, a body shop and a self-storage yard all land here at the same $50.
