Complete the application in its entirety and provide all required documentation. Once received, our office will review the application and contact the applicant should any changes need to be made to your configuration. A Deputy Fire Marshal will contact you a few days prior to the event to schedule your inspection. Inspections will only take place once event setup is 95% complete; this includes vendors, displays, merchandise, decorations, fire extinguishers, etc. all in place.
Set-up must be 95% complete prior to inspection. Deficiencies shall be corrected prior to opening to the public. Failure to comply may result in revocation of the permit, issue of citation, and possible closure of the event.
*A list of Permit Types and Required Documentation for each can be found below*
Permit Fees. Check the box for each permit type that applies to your event. If up to three operational permits are required for the same event, then the applicant will only be charged for the highest single fee according to the adopted fee schedule. Any additional operational permits required beyond the first three will be charged individually. Operational permit fees include permit application review, document handling, and a one-hour inspection with one inspector. Additional staff and time for inspections will be charged at $100 per hour per additional staff member.

Please review the permit types and provide the required documents for any permit type in which you selected on the application. The documents listed are not all inclusive and specific document requirements may vary depending on applicable codes and the nature of the event. The Fire Marshal’s Office will reach out to request additional documentation if it is deemed necessary.
