Overview

• The Fire Marshal's Office conducts plan reviews to ensure building plans comply with fire safety codes and regulations. This helps identify potential fire hazards and ensure appropriate safety measures are in place
• Once your plans have been successfully submitted through our online portal, the Fire Marshal’s office will review the submittal. This review focuses on ensuring comprehensive compliance with life safety standards and facilitating proper fire department access.
• For a smooth review process, all essential information outlined in the building and site plan review checklists are required to be reflected on submittals. Incomplete submissions will necessitate a resubmittal.
• During application submittal via ACC’s Community Portal, applicants of building submittals are required to answer several questions that the Fire Marshal’s office will review to ensure a complete plan set has been submitted. All applicants are required to acknowledge that compliance with IFC Appendix D and IFCO 510 will be met by the project prior to issuance of Certificates of Occupancy. 
• If your project requires Fire Sprinkler and Alarms, please indicate on application questions. Submission of these plans is not included in Plans Review, but will be submitted and review by the Fire Marshal’s Office during permitting/construction.
• Life safety plans are required for all building submittals. 
• If plans fall under the jurisdiction of the State Fire Marshall, plans must be reviewed and approved by the State Fire Marshal’s office prior to submitting to ACC for Plans Review. Plans that are submitted prior to the approval of the State Fire Marshal’s Office will require a resubmittal.
