How does the Fire Department ensure that buildings meet fire codes?
A. The local Office of the Fire Marshal enforces the Baltimore County Fire Prevention Code. The Fire Marshal inspects all commercial, retail and office establishments, as well as rental properties with common areas, once a year for compliance with the fire code. (If your business is a new occupant of an existing building, please register with the Fire Marshal’s Office, 410-887-4880, to ensure a place in the annual inspection rotation.) For new residential structures, compliance with the fire code is required before the issuance of a use and occupancy permit.
