Permit Check

A permit that gets routed to the wrong city, or a scope the owner did not know needed a permit, is what stops a job at the final inspection. Enter the address and pick the work — Permit Check tells you which fire permits the adopted IFC requires, who issues them, and how sure we are.

Internal use only
Permit Check is live for the Zion team only for now. We are still checking local submittal rules city by city. Do not send results to customers yet — confirm with the issuing fire marshal before you quote or submit. Found a wrong answer? Tell Joel so we can fix the record.
Permit routing tool, not legal advice. Permit requirements come from the fire code your city adopted plus local amendments we may not have on file. Every result tells you how confident we are and who to call. Final say belongs to the fire code official. Texas jurisdictions adopt different IFC editions (2015 through 2024 are all in force somewhere in the state) and local amendments govern; Oklahoma enforces a statewide minimum. Section numbers follow the edition on file for the jurisdiction — IFC 2021 / IFC 2024 numbering or IFC 2015 / IFC 2018 numbering.

1. Where is the work?

The fire permit goes to the city whose limits the parcel sits inside — not the city on the mailing address. Enter the street address and we will resolve the incorporated place and county, then match it to our jurisdiction file.

Use the site address from the permit application or the lease, with city, state and ZIP. The lookup runs on our server against the U.S. Census geocoder; nothing you type is stored.
Pick the city that will issue the permit — confirm on the county appraisal district parcel record, not the mailing address. Changing this list overrides the address result above.

2. What work are you doing?

Check every scope on the job. Most tenant finish-outs carry three or four fire permits under one building permit, and each one is its own submittal.

Common combos:
Fire protection systems
Hazards and storage
Operations
Building and occupancy
Maintenance — no permit
