Commercial Building Plan Review

A review of all commercial building plans (new construction and remodeling) is performed by Fire Prevention prior to the issuance of a building permit. Automatic fire sprinkler, automatic fire suppression, fire alarm, and commercial kitchen hood systems are reviewed also.

The plans are reviewed for compliance with all of the related fire codes as adopted by Citrus County. The plans are checked for compliance with items such as:

• Proper number, size and location of exits and doors
• Maximum occupant load determination for the building and occupancy
• Location and type of the required fire rated assemblies
• Fire extinguisher size and number
• Determine if a fire alarm system is required
• Determine if an automatic fire sprinkler system is required
• Other fire or life safety deficiencies
