About each permit
Fire Marshal Plan Review and Inspection (Unincorporated Areas)
The Hidalgo County Fire Marshal, 2814 S. Business Hwy 281, Edinburg, 956-318-2656, enforces the International Fire Code, reviews plans jointly with the Planning Department for structures in the unincorporated area, and handles fire inspection renewals and plan reviews by appointment. Commercial development permits and utility clearances need Fire Marshal approval as part of the Planning commercial package. There is no fee published for this plan review or inspection: the Fire Marshal page, its forms page and its checklist page state none, and the county publishes no fire fee schedule, so contact the Fire Marshal's office for what applies to a specific project. This applies to the unincorporated area; inside an incorporated city the city's fire department governs.
