Tents & Membrane Structures

Tents and other membrane structures are used for many different reasons including special events and camping. Tents greater than 400 square feet require approval prior to being erected. RVFD Standard #118 has been developed to assist in the preparation of your event.
- Tents are required to be properly anchored. A State Licensed Engineer may be required to provide documentation of structural stability for tents in excess of 1500 square feet.
- The minimum plan review fee is set forth in the current Fee Schedule based on square footage <1500sf or >1500sf (includes plan submission, plan review & single inspection). These fees are the minimum charge for a typical application. Additional charges may apply for large projects and re-inspections, or failures to comply, which result in additional inspections.
- After-hour or weekend inspection requests may require additional fees.
