Explanatory notes:
1. The VRFA establishes its review and inspection fees on a percentage of the permit fee assessed by the authority
having jurisdiction. Using a percentage of the jurisdictional fee as the basis of VRFA fees eliminates the need to
adjust the VRFA fee schedule every time a jurisdictional fee changes.
2. The fee only applies to single family occupancies that require fire protection systems.
3. Hourly rate is based on the direct costs of VRFA staff time, salary, benefits, overhead, administrative costs, and
resources.
4. Includes plan review and first two inspections.
5. Preventable nuisance and malfunction false alarms exist to reduce unwarranted calls that remove emergency
apparatus from service. Though there is no penalty for V and 26d violations, it provides the opportunity for the
VRFA to educate owners about any mechanical problems within a system that may not be the fault of occupancy
tenants. It further grants the opportunity for repair technicians to correct any deficiencies that may exist.
Subsequent false alarms incur a penalty in an attempt to encourage needed repairs of the associated systems.
6. The VRFA Fire Marshal is authorized to reduce or waive any fees for permits. In compelling cases where the
applicant - the party responsible for payment of such fees - is an organization exempt from taxation under 26 USC
501(c)(3), and where the permit relates directly to the provision of charitable services to residences of the VRFA
service area, the VRFA Fire Marshal is vested with discretion to reduce any fees for permits, publications, and
actions by up to 50%.
7. Permits that are not completed and no project improvements are made can, in writing, ask for the inspection fees
to be refunded.
