Plan Reviews/Inspections

The Plans Reviews Section of the Fire Prevention Bureau has the responsibility of reviewing every set of plans - which are submitted to the City of Texas City for building permits - for compliance with the 2003 International Fire Code and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards.

Upon completion of the building project, the Plans Review Section performs an on-site inspection to insure that the project was completed according to what has been approved by the Texas City Fire Department.

In addition to the City - permitted plans, the Plans Review Section reviews and performs all inspection on plans for fire alarm systems, hood extinguishing systems, fire sprinkler systems, perliminary site plans, accessibility for fire department apparatus at new buildings, fire flow determination on new building hyrant systems, and the placement of new fire hyrants for TCFD use. Upon approval construction permits will be issued.
