State Building Permit Program
The NH State Fire Marshal’s Office (NHFMO) administers the state building permit system for all state owned properties. This program covers the permitting, plan review and inspections for all construction work in state owned properties.
This building permit program applies only to construction that meets at least one of the following criteria:
- State owned property
- Community college system property
- Municipal projects for which we have received a written request for assistance
- Projects in municipalities without a code enforcement mechanism, from whom we have received a written request for assistance
Submission Guidelines
Permit applications and plans shall be submitted through the State Fire Marshal's MyGov portal, which requires a collaborator account.
