About each permit
Annual Fire & Life Safety Inspection
This tiered schedule, with its own explicit adoption and effective dates, supersedes an older flat $50/year figure still shown on two other city fee pages that appear not to have been updated. An Operational Fire Code Permit is a separate $50/year charge per hazard category (cutting/welding, vehicle repair, hazardous materials, assembly use, and others) under City Ordinance 34-6(a).
