All new construction in the Summit Fire & EMS Fire Protection District and throughout Summit County is subject to wildfire-mitigation requirements, as set forth by Summit County code and subsequently adopted by all of the municipalities. Permits are required for SF&EMS sign-off on your preliminary building-permit card and may be obtained at our administration building at 0035 County Shops Road in the County Commons near Frisco. Permits cost $150 for each building permit. At any point after the foundation has been poured -- but before you are ready to seek a certificate of occupancy upon completion of the project -- you will need to schedule a preliminary wildfire-mitigation inspection by calling (970) 262-5100 or filling out the form below. We strive to schedule inspections within two business days of receiving a request, but please be aware that during the busiest times of year in the summer, the actual inspection may not be conducted for as long as three weeks later.
Summit Fire & EMS District is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Summit Fire & EMS District

commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations:
Summit Fire & EMS District has designated a compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations.
The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
