(A) Generally. Other permits needed, according to Chapter 1, § 105.6 of the NCFC, in order to perform an operation or task, will need to be obtained from the Fire Marshal’s office. For any violation of Chapter 1 or other chapters of the NCFC, or of this chapter, a civil citation may be issued at the discretion of the Fire Marshal or its designee.
(B) Application for a permit. Applications for permits shall be made to the Fire Marshal, on forms provided by the county, and shall include full and complete answers from the applicant to inquiries set forth in the forms. The appropriate fees shall accompany applications for permits, if a fee is required, and any data as may be required by the Fire Marshal. All applications and forms shall be available on the county’s website, or in person at the Fire Marshal’s office. Failure to submit an application shall be just cause to deny issuance of a permit.
(C) Review and issuance. The Fire Marshal shall review all applications submitted. An on-site inspection shall be conducted to determine compliance with applicable provisions of this chapter and/or the NCFC. If an application for a permit is rejected by the Fire Marshal, the applicant shall be advised in writing of the reasons for the rejection.
