Operational Permit Disclosure
Operational permits are required under the 2018 International Fire
Code, Section 105.6, as adopted by the Nevada State Fire Marshal. An
operational permit allows the applicant to conduct an operation for which a
permit is required by the International Fire Code. The permit will remain
effective for a prescribed period or until renewed or
revoked.
Applications will be completed electronically, and all required
documentation shall be forwarded to sfmplans@dps.state.nv.us no
less than 14 days prior to the event in question. Once the application is
received along with all required documentation, the Fire Code Official will
conduct a review and schedule an inspection on the last working day prior to
the event. When the permit process is complete, and authorization is given, the
applicant will be notified that the permit is issued, and the duration of the
permit will be indicated.
The Nevada State Fire Marshal division shall charge fees to defray
its administrative and operational costs, including but not limited to
inspections by fire marshal staff in connection with all
applications. The fees are set by resolution of the Nevada
Administrative Code (NAC 477.325) and collected at the time an application for
a permit is submitted. The application fee shall not be refunded upon failure
of an applicant to receive a permit or clearance or upon any revocation or
suspension of a permit. No permit shall be valid until the required
fee has been paid. Fee schedules are attached to the operational permit
application link below.
Please pay by mailing in a check, money order, cashier’s check, or
by filling out and emailing the One Time Payment Credit Card Authorization Form.
