About each permit
Business Fire and Life Safety Inspection
A commercial (non-home-based) daycare centre has no distinct fee category of its own on this table — it is billed under the same size-based 'Business at or below/above 10,000 sq ft' tiers as any other business, while only a home-based daycare gets the special $50 rate. Most inspections take under 30 minutes and check sprinklers, extinguishers, emergency lighting, egress paths and electrical hazards.
Fire Operational Permit — Repair Garage
A named Fire Department operational-permit line specific to repair garages and motor fuel dispensing facilities, separate from and in addition to the base business license. A shop that stores or handles paints, solvents or other regulated substances above threshold quantities separately owes the Fire Department's tiered Hazardous Materials Permit: $75 for a minimum storage amount, $165 for a storage site, $225 for a dispensing/use site, or $285 for a production/processing site — confirm applicability with the Fire Prevention Division (801-965-7171). Unlike Salt Lake City or Birmingham, West Valley City's own business-license fee schedule has no separate auto-repair or mechanic category at all; this Fire Department permit is the real industry-specific local answer for this trade.
