Re-inspection fees

Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm PermitFire Sprinkler/Alarm Plan Review & Permit Fee · No dedicated fee line for fire sprinkler or fire alarm permits/plan review was found in the City of Casper Permit Fee Schedule (eff. February 2, 2026, reviewed in full — 4 pages, no fire-related line item) or the City's central Fee Schedules index page (business/fee_schedules.php, reviewed live 2026-07-22 — lists only 'Community Development Department Fees' and 'Wireless Communication Facilities Application Fees,' no Fire Department fee schedule). Do not confuse with the Fire Self-Inspection Program's $150 initial / $300 re-inspection service fees (Resolution No. 24-77), which apply only to periodic compliance inspections of existing low-hazard occupancies, not to new fire-protection-system installation permits.
