About each permit
Fire Code Permit (new businesses, commercial projects, change of ownership or occupancy)
The Cameron County Fire Marshal Service's Fire Code Permit Application, updated 09.09.25 and linked from its current page, states: "For any and all new businesses, commercial projects, change of ownership and/or occupancy client must comply the following". The steps are to submit the application to firemarshalservice@co.cameron.tx.us, send a PDF floor plan showing the business's measurements (the page states that printed plans are not accepted), pay, and comply with the permit approval before setting up the final inspection. For restaurants a trip test of the hood suppression system is required, with the servicing company present at the final inspection. Cameron County Public Health's Establishment Application directs a business located outside city limits to the county Fire Marshal at (956) 982-5464; a business within a city that has its own fire marshal goes to that office. The office is at 964 East Harrison Street, Brownsville.
