Check Fire Marshal Permits Before Opening a Business
Outside city limits, a business project can still need the Guadalupe County Fire Marshal. City Works is the online place for permit forms, plans, status checks, inspection requests, and approved permits.
The permit guide covers fire alarms, sprinklers, and new buildings. It also covers changed layouts, renovation, demolition, and a change of occupancy. That last one can catch people who reuse an old space for a new business. Ask which permit or inspection fits while you are still planning the lease, timeline, or build-out.
