- BUILDING PERMIT EXEMPTIONS FOR FIRE SYSTEM PLANS:

ELECTRICAL LOCKING/ACCESS CONTROL PLANS FOR CITY OF AUSTIN PROJECTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED WITHOUT BUILDING PERMITS.  Effective September 1, 2024, Austin Fire Department (AFD) will review access control/electrical locking system submittals as part of the Building Permit Plan Review (PR) set that is submitted to the Development Services Department (DSD). A separate submission to AFD for Fire System Plan Review will no longer be required for these systems. This is a requirement even if your project's scope of work only includes Electrical Locking/Access Control and no other contruction work is being done.

Exemption from the Building Permit requirement only applies to fire protection system installations, modifications, or device replacements when no construction requiring a building permit is happening in conjunction with the fire protection system work. Electrical Locking/ Access Control is not covered by this exception. Provide the following note in the lower righthand corner of “each” plan sheet: “NO BP REQUIRED”.  The reason for not having a Building Permit must be clearly stated in the Scope of Work Letter submitted with the plans.
