Instructions for Plan Submittal

A Plan Check Application is required for each submittal.

Plans, Fire Jurisdiction Transmittal Form (County Projects Only), supplemental documentation and application can be submitted in PDF or weblink via email to prevention@smfd.org.

The plan review process and issuance of a fire construction permit may take approximately 14 days. Applicants shall be notified by email when your plan review has been completed. Plan reviews will not be released until payment has been received.

Plans are approved for a term of one (1) year. A Permit is considered “Expired” when there has been no project activity for 12 or more months. Permits can be extended if the fire prevention bureau is contacted within 30 days prior to the permit expiration date (additional fees may apply). Expired permits cannot be reactivated; a new submittal is required and a different Permit Number will be assigned.

Plan Review Fees

Plan review fees will be invoiced once we have received the plans and application. The invoice can be paid via online by credit card or bank account or by mailing a check to:
