Field Issuance Remodel (FIR) Program
A streamlined permit process for residential remodeling — faster approvals, fewer delays, and full code compliance from start to finish.
What is the FIR Program?
The Field Issuance Remodel (FIR) Program is a streamlined permit process designed for residential remodeling projects. It allows qualified contractors to perform plan reviews and field inspections, reducing the time and complexity of the traditional permit process.
The result is a smoother project that moves forward faster — without compromising safety or building code requirements.

Who qualifies — and what to expect
Who is eligible?
The FIR Program is available for residential remodeling projects that meet specific criteria. Projects must be alterations, additions, or repairs to existing residential structures. New construction and certain complex projects may not qualify. We can help determine if your project qualifies.
Does it meet code standards?
