Fire Permits

The Fire Marshal's office handles a number of permit types.

Construction Permits and Alarm Systems

Construction permits are applied for at the Permit Counter. You can find more information at our New Construction page and costs on our Fee Schedule page.

Alarm systems first require an electrical permit from the Permit Counter, and then a separate Fire Department permit for the alarm system layout.

Annual Operational Permits for businesses are issued as part of the fire inspection process. Find out more on our Fire Safety Inspection and Multi-Family Inspection pages.

Please allow a minimum of 14 days for processing.

If you need assistance determining whether an operational permit is required, please call the Everett Fire Marshal’s office at 425-257-8120.
