PLAN REVIEW
The City of Oakland Fire Department will continue to provide plan review services across all categories of project for approval consistent with the City’s Fire Code.
Submit your Plan Review application via email to FPBReceptionist@oaklandca.gov. The email must have:
- Plan Review Intake Form - If the intake form is not completely filled out with all information required in designated areas, including the “BUILDING” number, it will be rejected.
- All plans and other documents to be reviewed.
If you must resubmit due to an incomplete or incorrectly completed intake form, your subsequent email must include the revised intake form and all plans/documents to be reviewed. FPB will not take these documents in separate emails.
Note: if plans are submitted without meeting the Electronic guidelines, your plans will be considered incomplete and will be delayed or denied. Please see the Electronic Submission Guidelines.
The average turnaround time for New Fire Alarm or Fire Sprinkler plan is 6 to 8 weeks, re-submittal plan review average timeline is 5 to 7 weeks.
Plan review fees will be invoiced to the client at the hourly rate set by the Master Fee Schedule. All outstanding fees must be paid prior to the client receiving the results of the review.
