Summary
The district wants to raise fire permit fees from $80 to $109 and inspection fees from a flat $80 to a variable rate of $109 to $1,090 based on building size — the first update since 2018. Businesses would pay more, and future increases could happen automatically with inflation.

Impact analysis
Businesses holding operational permits would pay $29 more each, and larger buildings could see inspection bills jump up to tenfold, from $80 to $1,090.
The fire district gains inflation-adjusted revenue to fund permits and inspection services.
Local businesses, especially operators of large buildings facing inspection fees of up to $1,090, would bear higher compliance costs.
