Route fire and life-safety plan review in Sarasota County

countywide

Fire review depends on the project's location and the responsible fire authority. Sarasota County Fire Department reviews site and development plans for new development within applicable service areas; municipal and independent fire districts may have separate processes.

Steps

  1. 1

    Confirm property jurisdiction and fire provider

    Verify the parcel's municipality and fire service area; do not assume County Fire Department coverage for an incorporated address.

  2. 2

    Ask the project reviewer about fire plans

    For County jurisdiction or County-reviewed development, use the Fire Department's current plan-review forms and checklists. Ask the local building department whether fire review is separate or coordinated.

    Confirm inspections and approvals

    Verify current fire inspection, access, hydrant and life-safety approvals with the appropriate fire official and building authority before construction or occupancy.
