Fire Protection System Permits - What is Required & How to Apply

The Fire Department requires permits to add, modify or remove fire protection systems - prior to beginning work in these areas.

Some examples are:

  • replacing a fire alarm control panel
  • changing the communication devices or other components on a fire alarm control panel
  • demolition of non-required systems, etc.
