1. If your project is for an existing building, submit a copy of the previous building plan review approval letter and certificate. It is prohibited to occupy a building for which plans have not been examined or approved.
2. Fire system plan reviews (fire alarm, fire suppression, hood suppressions, and fuel systems) will be submitted using the FC Application for Fire Protection Systems.
3. A plan review fee will be calculated and a fee letter will be generated by the Permit Technician.
4. The plans are reviewed by a Deputy Fire Marshal after receipt of the fee.
5. The review is usually completed within a three-week time frame; however, additional information may be required.
6. Once the review has been approved as submitted and/or modified, an approval letter and certificate will be issued.
7. A copy of the certificate must be posted as required in 13 AAC 55.100(b).
8. Once work has been completed on-site and ready to open to the public, contact a staff member at (907)861-8383 or Fire.Code@/MatSuGov.us to schedule a final inspection.
9. If there are deficiencies noted at the inspection, a timeframe will be established for completion of corrections. Once any deficiencies have been corrected, a certificate of occupancy will be issued and the plan review will be closed.
