A Notice of Code Violation may be recorded when a Fire construction permit is expired.

Fire plan check and inspection permit fees shall be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. The fire plan check and inspection fees for construction permits associated with building permits and this Code shall be set by a board resolution of the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Joaquin. The Fire Warden shall certify plans of all occupancies requiring a permit from this Code.
