The Morongo Valley Fire Department contracts with an outside third-party vendor for all plan reviews and inspections. All submissions will be made to the fire department for tracking and accounting purposes before being forwarded to the vendor for review or inspection. All fees must be paid prior to the review or inspection being carried out or the fire letter being issued. MVFD personnel will facilitate the application process, inspection scheduling, and billing. 

Please note that Plan Reviews can take 14-30 days from the date of each submission to be reviewed. If corrections are required, you will need to resubmit those plans with the specified corrections. Each plan review is a new and separate fee. Depending on the scope of the work being performed, there may be one or more inspections required for each set of plans submitted. Any missed inspections will generate a missed or failed inspection will generate a new fee. Contractors are responsible for knowing the Conditions of Approval (COA) and scheduling the required inspection(s) in a timely manner.

Please note that if you are a commercial business, your establishment will be subject to annual business inspections as well as occupancy permits, which can also be found in the fee schedule.
