About each permit
Fire and Life Safety Plan Review (Building Permit)
The City's own general Building Permits page confirms building permits are submitted through the City's online portal and states plainly that 'B&O Taxes are not included in the fee(s) associated with your building permit application,' but publishes no base building-permit dollar figure of its own. The Fire Marshal's Division publishes its own calculable Fire and Life Safety Plan Review fee, tied to a project's construction value, which functions as a building-permit-adjacent charge for any new construction or remodel. The same Fire Marshal fee table separately prices sprinkler plan review ($85.00 for 1-200 heads, $100.00 for 201-300, $120.00 for 301-750, plus $0.10 per head above 750) and fire alarm plan review ($50.00 per 10,000 square feet), relevant to any contractor's own project-specific fire-suppression scope.
Fire Marshal Certificate of Occupancy Inspection
The City's own Steps to Starting Your Business page requires 'mandatory inspections by Code Enforcement and Fire Marshal' before a Certificate of Occupancy issues, and the Fire Marshal's Division's own current fee table separately prices this specific inspection at $50.00 — a separately administered charge on top of the $65.00 Certificate of Occupancy application fee recorded above. The same fee table also prices a $50.00 Commercial Business Inspection, a banded Place of Assembly Permit ($50.00 at or under 300 occupants, $75.00 for 301-999, $100.00 for 1,000 or more — directly relevant to a restaurant or fitness studio's own occupancy load), a $250.00 annual Hazardous Material Permit, and a $25.00-per-system Range Hood Systems fee (relevant to a restaurant kitchen's own suppression system) — none of which is recorded separately here.
