1. Do I need a permit to have a campfire in my backyard?

Permits are not typically issued for single-family residential areas. However, the fire department can issue a burn permit for bonfires if all of the safety requirements have been met, including the fire being at least 50 feet from a building.

2. How do I get a permit from the fire department to build a structure?

All permits are issued by the City’s Public Works Department. The Fire Department will do the plan review simultaneously with Public Works and forward comments to them. Once all comments/concerns have been addressed, the actual permit will be issued by Public Works.
