Higher fire permit fee caps for businesses

Delaware raises the fee cap for licenses to service portable fire-suppression units from $50 to $100. The cap for all other required fire-prevention permits, licenses, and certifications rises from $25 to $100. These caps apply statewide to businesses and individuals seeking approvals required by State Fire Prevention Regulations. The State Fire Marshal sets actual fees with approval from the State Fire Prevention Commission. The law allows higher fees but does not require a $100 charge; fees cannot exceed that cap.
