The Fire Marshal Signs Off on Commercial Building in Comal County

Some Comal County building work goes to the Fire Marshal, not just the Engineer's Office. That office checks plans, issues permits, and inspects new or remodeled buildings when fire safety rules apply.

County permit categories include commercial buildings, public buildings, and multifamily dwellings with four or more units. In plain terms, a shop, cafe, public room, or similar space may need the extra review.

The same office investigates fires when arson is suspected, the cause is unknown, or someone is hurt or killed. For a build-out, call 830-643-3748 while the plan is still easy to change.
