Special Operational Permits
To ensure on-time permit issuance, all applications for operational permits must be submitted to the fire department no less than two weeks before the event. This is to provide time for review, verification of county and state regulations, and scheduling of Fire Department personnel when required. Additionally, it allows you time to react to Fire Code requirements, local amendments, and other regulatory items you may not be aware of.
Inspections
To schedule an inspection, please contact the Fire Marshal's Office or call 972-919-2640. We will need the inspection address, inspection type, and permit number if applicable.
