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 in and 2"d 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.
