Submit the completed permit application, the plan review fee, and all supporting documentation noted in the plan review submittal information section to the Fire Marshal’s Office. If violations are discovered during an inspection the occupant or owner will be notified in writing of the violations and a compliance inspection will be set, usually 30 to 60 days, to make the necessary corrections or repairs.
