The Fire Marshal’s Office conducts review of site plans, construction plans, and specifications to the 2018 International Code Council (ICC) Fire Code and the related codes and standards referenced therein. We also conduct inspections to verify compliance with the project design codes and standards.
We are also in the process of moving our plans submittals, reviews, and inspections requests electronically to the MyPermitNow system. That will give developers a one-stop location for all of Hays County plans submittals, permits, and inspections.
Starting January 1, 2020, there will be a fee schedule for Fire Marshal Fees.
Please reference the project address, not the project name, on all applications, plans, emails, correspondence, etc. Our email is our best point of contact: firemarshal@co.hays.tx.us.
