This permit fee is based upon the size of your space or building and the expiration date of the permit. Permits are classified by occupancy and operations use (see §87-6C). The permit will indicate the occupancy use classification which is referenced in the Occupancy Permit Fee Table of the ordinance. For example, if your business is a 1,500 square foot real estate office, the permit is issued every 3 years for a fee of $60.00 based on Occupancy Group 3. If you own a 5,000 square foot restaurant, the permit is issued annually at a cost of $95.00 as indicated in Occupancy Group 1. 

This ordinance also applies to residential properties. Occupancy Group 1 of the ordinance refers to residential occupancies and the fees required by the overall square feet of the property.   Additional permits may be required for operational features that present more of a fire-related concern. For example, if your store sells consumer fireworks and sparklers, an additional permit is required at the cost of $150.00 per year.
