Purpose


Pursuant to section 633.218(1), F.S., it is the duty of the State Fire Marshal to inspect each state-owned building on a recurring basis to ascertain and cause to be corrected any conditions liable to cause fire or endanger life from fire and any violation of the firesafety standards for state-owned buildings. Section 633.218(5), F.S., requires the Division of State Fire Marshal (Division) to provide by rule a schedule of fees to pay for the costs of the inspections of state-owned buildings and premises, any firesafety review or plans for proposed construction, renovations, or occupancy, and related administrative expenses. The proposed amendments will update the rules and conform them to the Division’s current methods of calculating and charging fees to inspect state-owned buildings and premises and to review construction plans for compliance with firesafety standards.
