The Travis County Fire Code requires businesses to obtain a permit from the Travis County Fire Marshal’s Office before beginning construction. This rule applies to new commercial and public buildings, as well as any existing facility for which use has changed, or that will sustain 50 percent or greater alteration after construction or renovation.

This Certificate of Compliance is required to open a facility to the general public.
