Occupancy Permits
The Marshalltown Fire Code (IFC 2015) Section 105.1.1 requires a property owner or owner's authorized agent who intends to conduct an operation or business, shall make an application to the fire code official and obtain the required permit. The following list is for businesses who require an annual occupancy permit.
We strongly encourage you to take the necessary steps to complete/pass the inspection on the first attempt as there is a fee for re-inspection equal to the initial inspection. Please feel free to contact either of us at 641-754-5751 or by email at jwarnell@marshalltown-ia.gov or drierson@marshalltown-ia.gov. Thank you in advance for working with the Marshalltown Fire Department towards eliminating fire hazards and helping create a safer community for us all to live, work, learn, and play.
