Fire Construction Permits
The City provides a one-stop-shop for construction needs. This includes the construction fire requirements for plan checks and inspections. Fire permits obtained through the Building and Safety Division are typical fire permits that might be obtained through fire departments in other cities, counties, or jurisdictions. Fire permits include Fire Code, Fire Sprinkler, and Fire Alarm permits. The current California Building Codes and local regulations are used to verify compliance.
