About each permit
Fire Operational Permit (hazard-triggered)
Seattle Fire Department ties recurring fees to specific hazard or occupancy triggers — repair garages, mobile cooking, assembly occupancy, high-piled storage, hot work — rather than charging every commercial tenant a blanket annual inspection fee. No such blanket fee is published, so none is asserted for a generic retail or office tenant.
