Published scheduling rules

  • Applications and inspection scheduling are submitted through SMFR's own Accela Permit Portal — a wholly separate system from the Town of Bow Mar's own permitting process used for the Building, Plumbing, Roofing, and Demolition permits documented elsewhere in this record (Fire Sprinkler & Fire Alarm System Permit (South Metro Fire Rescue))
  • Routine inspection requests submitted through the Accela Portal by 4:00 p.m. are conducted the next business day, or a later date up to 5 business days out if specifically requested; inspectors provide an estimated arrival window the morning of inspection (Fire Sprinkler & Fire Alarm System Permit (South Metro Fire Rescue))
