Dear Business Owner,
Aurora Fire Rescue and the City of Aurora has approved the implementation of a Fire Inspection Fee
Schedule. Historically, Aurora Fire Rescue has only charged for re-inspection fees and this letter serves to
inform you of the policy change to include primary fire inspection fees as described below.
Primary fire inspection fees are based on occupancy type, occupant load and/or square feet. The fee schedule
was developed from extensive research of the surrounding cities and jurisdictions within the Denver Metro
areas as well as like-sized cities through the Country. Primary and reinspection fees have been approved both by
the Aurora Fire Rescue as well as Aurora City Council with input from the City of Aurora Business Advisory
Board.
Primary inspection fees are assessed for the first inspection conducted as part of the business’ fire inspection
cycle, which restarts every one, two, or three years based on fire-risk as determined by occupancy group. Re-inspections are required when violations are identified during a primary inspection or complaint
investigation. Reinspection fees are charged following any required reinspection where violations remain.
Currently, the City of Aurora has adopted the International Fire Code 2015. The Aurora Municipal Code can be
found online at www.auroragov.org If you have any questions or need further clarification please contact the
Aurora Fire Rescue Inspection and Investigation Division.
