Fire Marshal Permits & Inspections — Houston
The Houston Fire Marshal regulates fire-safety permits and inspections for restaurants, including suppression systems and any LP/propane use.
Overview
The Houston Fire Marshal's Office (City of Houston Fire Department) reviews and inspects fire-safety elements of restaurants — commercial cooking suppression systems, egress/occupancy, and any propane/LP-gas use (a separate permit).
Fire approval is part of construction sign-off and the path to occupancy.
What SpoonSeal tracks
The document(s) you upload for this requirement, with automatic renewal/expiration tracking (Current, Due Soon, Expired). Where the city publishes health-inspection results (e.g., NYC and Chicago), SpoonSeal syncs them automatically; elsewhere they can be added manually.
Stay ahead of this requirement
SpoonSeal stores your documents, tracks expirations, and reminds you before anything lapses — so you are always inspection-ready.
