We can walk you through the process once we understand the details of your project.

If it is in our area, then you will need to submit two sets of paper plans, fill out a permit application which you will find on our website fresnocountyfire.org and pay the current plans review fee which can be found on the fee schedule on the right side of this screen.

If it's been longer than 4 weeks and you haven't received a call to pick up your plans, check your e-mail to see if the plan reviewer might have sent you an e-mail asking for corrections/clarification on your project. The email would be from fss.tar@gmail.com.  Also check your "Junk" folder.
