FIRE PREVENTION SECTION
PROPOSED USER FEE UPDATE – HOURLY RATE INCREASE, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FEE INCREASE, AND FEES RELATED TO THE ADOPTION OF
THE 2024 PHOENIX FIRE CODE
OVERVIEW
The mission of the City of Phoenix Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Section is to reduce the risk of fire,
hazardous materials events, and other dangers within our community. To accomplish this mission, the
Fire Marshal’s Office utilizes the Phoenix Fire Code, based on a nationally recognized model code, to
help safeguard lives, property, and first responders from these risks and hazards. Through plan reviews,
inspections, assessments, and strong partnerships with the community, development sector, local
industries, and other stakeholders, Fire Prevention promotes safe, sustainable growth across our
community.
The Phoenix Fire Code and the Fire Prevention Fee Schedule together provide the foundation and
resources necessary to achieve this mission. These fees directly support critical activities that allow the
Fire Prevention Section to maintain effective risk reduction programs, uphold national life safety
standards, and continue serving our community at the highest level.
Many of the fees within the Fire Prevention Fee Schedule have not been adjusted in more than two
decades. As a result, they no longer align with current economic conditions, organizational costs, or
inflationary trends. In addition, the 2024 employee compensation package approved by the City Council
further increased operational costs within the Fire Prevention Section. The combination of outdated fee
structures and modern cost realities has created a widening gap between the resources required to
maintain essential fire prevention services and the revenue generated to support these services.
The goal of these proposed fee adjustments is to ensure that essential community risk reduction programs
and prevention efforts are not reduced, delayed, or diverted because of these increased costs. Maintaining
alignment between operational expenses and fee recovery is vital to sustaining the personnel, tools, and
technology necessary to keep Phoenix safe as the city continues to grow.
BACKGROUND
The current Fire Prevention hourly rate of $150 was last formally studied in 2011 and adjusted in 2013.
Since that time, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index (CPI for the
Phoenix metropolitan area has increased by more than 45%, reflecting an average annual inflation rate of
approximately 3.49%. The CPI measures the average change in prices paid by consumers for goods and
services over time, reflecting inflation. It’s calculated by the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics and is specific to regions like the Phoenix metro area. CPI is used to help
evaluate fee adjustments by showing how much service delivery costs have increased due to inflation.
During this same period, the Employee Cost Index, which measures changes in wages and benefits, has
risen at a comparable rate. These combined economic trends highlight the growing disparity between the
costs necessary to sustain Fire Prevention operations and the static fee structure that has remained
unchanged for more than a decade.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Page 2 of 6
Similarly, the annual assessment fees for hazardous materials facilities were last adjusted in 2003. In the
more than twenty years since that adjustment, the CPI for the Phoenix metropolitan area has increased by
approximately 78%, while these fees have remained unchanged. This prolonged stagnation has eroded the
fee’s ability to recover actual program costs, placing additional strain on Fire Prevention resources needed
to manage hazardous materials oversight, inspections, and compliance activities that directly protect both
the community and first responders.
The adoption and associated fee changes of the new Phoenix Fire Code are vital to ensuring the city
remains aligned with current national life safety standards, evolving technologies, and modern
construction practices. The updated code strengthens the city’s ability to protect life and property through
enhanced requirements, improved enforcement tools, and new provisions addressing emerging hazards
such as energy storage systems, high-rise infrastructure, and advanced building systems. It improves
consistency with partner agencies like the Planning and Development Department, supports efficiency in
permitting and inspections, and promotes better data collection for community risk reduction. Most
importantly, adopting the new code reflects Phoenix’s continued commitment to proactive community
risk reduction, firefighter safety, and community resilience in a rapidly growing and changing urban
environment.
PROPOSALS
The Phoenix Fire Department is proposing three strategic update categories to the Fire Prevention Fee
Schedule to ensure the continued delivery of high-quality, community-focused fire prevention services.
These proposed changes are necessary not only to maintain cost recovery in the face of rising operational
expenses and inflationary growth but also to build long-term financial resiliency and expand our capacity
to meet the demands of a growing community.
As Phoenix continues to experience rapid development and increasing complexity in fire and life safety
needs, it is critical that our Fire Prevention Section remains equipped with the personnel, tools, and
resources required to protect lives, property, and first responders. These adjustments will help close the
widening gap between service costs and revenue, sustain essential risk reduction programs, and support
the department’s ability to adapt and scale alongside the city’s growth.
This proposal reflects our commitment to responsible fiscal stewardship, operational excellence,
developmental growth, and the safety of the Phoenix community, today and into the future.
Hourly Rate Adjustment: The Fire Department proposes raising the Fire Prevention hourly rate used for
plan reviews, inspections, and similar activities from $150 to $195 per hour, representing a 30% increase
that remains below the inflation rate. This proposed rate is consistent with the rate increase being
proposed by the City’s Planning and Development Department (PDD) and supports Fire Prevention
resiliency. It is important to note that the cost of staffing and performing inspections is comparable
between Fire Prevention and PDD, as both departments utilize parallel processes, apply interrelated
codes, and work collaboratively in support of the development community and overall community risk
reduction. PDD recently completed a comprehensive rate study that determined this rate level, and Fire
Prevention’s adjustment mirrors that study to achieve a similar recovery rate for fire prevention activities
of comparable nature and complexity. This action also supports alignment of development sector fees, as
PDD life safety systems permitting fees are established through the Fire Prevention Fee Schedule.

Hazardous Materials Annual Assessment Fee Adjustment: The second strategic proposal is to adjust the
Fire Prevention Annual Hazardous Materials Assessment Fees to align with program and staff cost
increases, as well as cumulative 78.25% CPI growth since 2003, when they were last adjusted. These
annual fees directly fund the personnel and resources needed to manage the citywide hazardous materials
program. This includes regular inspections, permit compliance, and ongoing engagement with facility
representatives to achieve and maintain code compliance and first responder awareness, ultimately
enhancing safety for both the community and first responders. The City of Phoenix’s Budget and
Research Department has reviewed and agrees with this fee increase proposal.

Adoption of the 2024 Phoenix Fire Code and Associated Fees: The 2024 International Fire Code
introduced several new operational permits at the national level. These new permits are now being
proposed for local incorporation, which will include corresponding fees that reflect the time, technical
expertise, and resources required for their review, inspection, and administration. In addition, Fire
Prevention is proposing new and modified fees to support consulting and technical assistance services that
enhance customer project success. These services provide opportunities for early collaboration, helping
applicants better understand complex code requirements, develop and implement alternate means and
methods, and ultimately achieve compliance more efficiently. Adjustments are also being proposed to
state-licensed facility fee structures to streamline both customer and staff processing. These updates will
improve clarity and transparency for customers by helping them easily identify which fees apply to their
operations, while also reducing administrative workload and simplifying the overall permitting and
inspection process.
