Projects Ready for Building Department Review 

Projects Requiring Fire Department Planning Review

You are ready to visit your local Building Department.

If the local Planning Department determines that your project requires Fire Department review or involvement in the planning stage, they will route a copy of relevant plans and documents to the Fire Department for review.

Plan review submittals are evaluated for completeness.  In determining completeness, fire department personnel will evaluate factors such as available fire flow, fire apparatus access, and vegetative fuels.  If additional fire department permits or review is required, this will be noted as a requirement for Building Department conditions of approval.

4. Review Comments and follow instructions to proceed.

  • The Planning Department will contact you when both the Building and Fire Departments complete their reviews and comments are ready for distribution.
