Permitting and Plan Review

Permitting Process order of operations

General Submittal Requirements

All projects are reviewed through the OKSFM Accela Citizen Portal. Plan review is not done over email and paper submittals mailed or dropped off in the office are not accepted. Customers will need to set up a login and password and first-time users of the system are encouraged to follow the requirements of setting up an account and following the provided user guide. View Accela Account Registration Guidebook 

PHASED - For large projects wishing to utilize a phased review process, ensure each building in each phase has a permit. Any deferred submittals will also be required to be phased, the same way the building permits were. 

SAFE ROOM - Each safe room/storm shelter must be permitted separately. A safe room/storm shelter within a building must be permitted separately from the building. For projects applying for a building permit and storm shelter permit at the same time, if the square footage of the storm shelter is included within the building permit, only the minimum fee will apply for the storm shelter. 

REMODEL & NEW - A project with a remodel and new construction must be permitted separately. One as existing building with remodel and one for the new construction.

CODES - Plans must meet the minimum state codes as adopted by the OUBCC.
To further assist with certain interpretations when designing plans, please see the State Fire Marshal Directives at the bottom of this page.

PROJECT NAME - The application / project name should be the name of the business or facility, plus a building identifier if there are multiple buildings on the property. The application / project name provided in the application is what is printed on the permit issued. If it is the building permit, it is also the name printed on the Certificate of Occupancy.
Examples:
Sample Public Schools - Admin Building
Sample Business - Building C
Sample Business - Greenhouse 4

Is an architect required for your project? Certain buildings require plans be designed by an architect. 

Please refer to the Oklahoma Board of Architects and/or Oklahoma Board of Engineers to determine with an architect or engineer is required for your project by state law and/or rules required by these agencies.

The State Fire Marshal's office does not regulate when an architect is required for a project but does enforce the requirements as outlined and published by the Oklahoma Board of Architects.

The State Fire Marshal does not determine when an engineer is required for different aspects of a project unless specifically required by any Oklahoma codes - to include but not limited to any fire and/or life safety code requirements as ounlined in the most current code adoption by the State of Oklahoma.

All plans must be drawn to scale.

The minimum scale that drawings shall be drafted to is:
Architectural – 1/8” to 1 foot
Site Plans/Maps – 1” to 20’ or 30’ or 40’ feet (the best fit while showing sufficient detail)

Each sheet must have an independent scale: i.e., 1in = 40ft or 3/16in = 1ft

Each sheet must have a scale bar for each scale used on its respective sheet. Reflect a 3” bar for the designated scale.

When more than one scale is used on a sheet, an independent scale must accompany the applicable detail.

Specific requirements for electronic plans: All drawings must be calibrated. This calibration shall be saved in the drawing ensuring it is available to the reviewer.

Fire alarm and or fire protection plans shall utilize 1/8” scale.

  • Fire alarm plans shall contain a sheet with a legend of scale square outlines for wall and ceiling mounted strobe coverage areas for all candela ratings and ceiling heights per NFPA 72. See examples below.
    The legend shall identify the following for each outline:
    • Mounting location: Wall or Ceiling
    • Candela rating
    • Max lens height
    • Size of outline (same scale as the drawings)

Fire alarm plans shall be done in accordance with NFPA 72 and shall contain:

  1. A general note identifying required detector spacing based on NFPA 72
  2. To scale spacing outline templates shall be provided per the examples below. 

PDF files must NOT require a password in order to view or to restrict the PDF permissions within the file.

All files should be numbered and named according to their order listed on your provided Title Sheet, Cover Sheet, or Table of Contents. 

PDF files containing Plan / Drawing Sheets should contain a PDF bookmark for each sheet, that contains the Sheet Reference Number and optionally a Sheet Title, for example A1.0 LOWER FLOOR

Plan Sheet Reference Numbers should be unique within a Record/Permit, two different drawing sheets should not have the same Sheet Reference Number. Take that into account when the number is entered manually and when verifying the sheet numbers.

TIP - For best results, your plan sets should include a table of contents, i.e., bookmarks, of the sheet names. Suggested order for the table of contents is as follows:

  1. C (ex: Cover sheet, construction plans, civil)
  2. G (ex: General notes)
  3. S (ex: Structural)
  4. A (ex: Architectural)
  5. E (ex: Electrical)
  6. M (ex: Mechanical)
  7. P (ex: Plumbing)
  8. L (ex: Landscape)
  9. FP (ex: Fire Protection)

View the OKSFM Medical Marijuana Facility Guide

If any person or company approaches you and indicates they can issue a Certificate of Occupancy or Final Inspection for a fee on behalf of the State Fire Marshal, please report this illegal activity to local law enforcement or the Consumer Protection Division of the Oklahoma Attorney General. 

When submitting your project involving medical marijuana, be sure to select the "Marijuana Permits" category when applying (see below). Projects cannot be switched between the categories - incorrect applications will be rejected and will require a resubmittal in the correct category.  

If the project has paper plans submitted to the State Fire Marshal's Office that are currently in line for review, but you want to submit online, the applicant must first cancel the paper submittals. If the paper plans are not cancelled, both projects will be billed for both reviews performed.  

Follow the submittal requirements listed on this page and view the information in the 'During Review' and 'Post Permit' tabs at the top of the page or the FAQ page. 

ALL EXTRACTION FACILITIES ARE REQUIRED TO BE REVIEWED BY OKSFM. EXTRACTION FACILITIES ARE NOT ALLOWED 3RD PARTY REVIEWS.

3rd Party Plan Review for Building Permits Only

This option is not required and OKSFM staff will still provide plan review services for marijuana projects in the order received. However, we allow the option of utilizing this service if you choose. 

The OKSFM has no control of third-party fees or review times.

The project will be invoiced by the OKSFM when it is processed. The listed applicant and listed owner will receive an email from noreply@oksfm.org with the invoice and link for payment. Please be aware that no refunds will be issued - discuss who will be making the payment before it's submitted. 

Once payment is made to the OKSFM office, the project will be sent digitally to an approved third-party reviewer if the choice is selected on the Accela application (see below). The OKSFM will be the default reviewer unless otherwise selected.

Applications cannot be edited once they are submitted. Errors in the applications require a request for cancellation from the applicant to the OKSFM office and will start at the beginning again.

The third-party will send their own invoice and review the project from the contact information provided in the application.

All emails from the review system will come from noreply@oksfm.org. We would encourage you to save noreply@oksfm.org in your contacts, so the emails are not sent to your spam folder. It is your responsibility to ensure that you receive our system notifications. See the 'During Review' tab for more information.

The status of the project is available to the project’s applicant 24/7 by the applicant logging in to the Accela Citizen Access portal. The office does not provide updates due to the unlimited availability of the status and the issuance of automatic emails to multiple people with the project by the Accela system. If you are not the applicant, please reach out to the representative who is. See 'During Review' tab for more information on notifications.

Fee Schedule as Adopted by Oklahoma Administrative Code 265:60-1-2.

Common Mistakes

  • Errors with documents
    • Incorrect scale (see scale info listed above)
    • Plan set uploaded as separate, individual pages
    • Plan set and supporting documents submitted as one file altogether. 
    • Incorrect page orientation (drawing sheets/plans are normally landscape, supporting documents are oftentimes portrait)
    • Sheet references left blank. This is essentially a page number for each sheet. See 'Uploading Documents' on this page for more.
    • All required documents were not uploaded. The blue rectangle at the top of the page will tell you what is required. You cannot continue the application without uploading all required documents.
  • Incomplete application
    • Required sections left blank or invalid/made up info was provided.
    • The owner information is a point of contact with the facility you are permitting, to include name, phone number and email address. It is not a project manager, general contractor, or architect of record unless those individuals own the business being permitted.
  • Automatic sign outs - The system may automatically sign you out after inactivity. Please save and save often.

Verify Before Submitting

Once the Accela application is submitted, the documents and application cannot be changed. If a change is needed to an application, it must be rejected and reapplied for, starting at the beginning.

Deferred Permit Submittals

Deferred submittals will not be accepted for review until after the construction plans for the project have been reviewed, approved, and issued a OKSFM building permit.

These are separate permits and must be submitted by a company licensed in Oklahoma to perform the work (for fire alarm, fire sprinkler, suppression, or access control permits).

OKSFM only allows the following elements to be deferred (unless otherwise previously approved):

  • Fire Alarm Systems
  • Fire Sprinkler Systems
  • Hood Suppression Systems
  • Alternative Suppression Systems
  • Access Control Systems
  • Carbon Dioxide Systems
  • Carbon Monoxide Systems
  • Smoke Control Systems
  • Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems

Submittal requirements by permit type

Submittals that do not meet the submittal requirements of the State Fire Marshal will be: (A) rejected/denied in processing or (B) disapproved in review. These statuses close the application - it cannot be revised if one of these occurs. It will require the applicant to start at the beginning of the permit process; to include filling out a new application, reuploading the plans, making fee payment again if the project was disapproved while in review. 

Fees: $100 minimum

For the purposes of our office, addendums are changes requested to previously approved documents after work has commenced. Requests for addendums will utilize the existing permit that the original plans were approved under. Upon approval an addendum permit and comments will be issued indicating changes.

The addendum must be applied for by the same company who obtained the permit in the first place. If the addendum is to change the contractor working on the project, we require written confirmation from the original permit holder allowing the release of plans to the new contractor.

  1. Log into Accela, select 'Create Application' under the applicable tab (General or Marijuana), and select 'Addendum'.
  2. You will then select what type of addendum it is - meaning what plan review comments and/or permit you are wishing to change. The 'Addendum Type' field is not what the addendum is about. 
  3. Upload a change or scope of work narrative to assist the staff in identifying what changes have been made.
  4. Upload and submit only your revised sheets and/or documents. Revisions on plans should be clouded.
  5. Upload a copy of the permit you are needing to change.

Addendums are required to correct all changes to approved permits, including but not limited to:

  • Yes / No questions marked incorrectly on the application
  • Project name change (only 1 name change per permit is allowed)
  • Project address correction
  • Request permit extension (only one 6-month extension is allowed). Submitted addendum must be received BEFORE the permit expires.

Fees: $0.20 per square foot, plus $4 OUBCC fee. $104 minimum.
Square footage used is directly from the application submitted. 

A completed online application is required. If an architect/engineer drew the plans being submitted for the project, provide the license information in the application where requested. 

Design letters (contractor statements) are required. An Architect/Engineer’s or subcontractor's written statement, confirming the DESIGN of the project meets all applicable codes in relation to the specific project. Design letters are required for the following categories: foundation, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. The letter(s) should be on the contracting company's letterhead and must identify the project name, address and county, as well as be dated, signed, and if applicable, stamped. If any of the above-mentioned categories are not applicable to the facility, then it must be explicitly stated in a scope of work letter to be uploaded to the documents.

Any time the building layout changes by adding, altering, removing, any doors / walls etc., and the facility has a fire alarm, fire sprinkler system, or other protection system(s), the OKSFM requires at a minimum the appropriate application, scope of work letter, and / or plans to be submitted for review and verify that the existing system still meets the code.

For example, by altering the layout, a wall, door, or other layout change, this may require additional notification and or detection devices depending on the system, relocation of such said devices, OR it may not require anything, but the proper fire protection company will need to verify this. The fire protection company would be required to visually examine the scope of work area to determine if any additional devices are required to meet code. If none are required, then it simply requires a scope of work and / or letter indicating as such on company letterhead.

At a minimum we would require the following:

  • Visual site inspection from fire alarm or fire protection company (Oklahoma licensed) to verify the system meets code within the scope of work area (addition or removal of devices).
  • An application to be submitted electronically, along with a letter indicating no such devices are required or a scope of work letter indicating what will be done.
  • Plans if applicable to the project or scope of work area.

Specific Items to Keep in Mind

  • System start-up time: The system start-up time needs to include the time for detection of the fire, signal processing time, and the system activation time. Specific oversights involve improperly estimating the time to detection or assuming that system activation commences immediately upon activation, thereby ignoring signal processing time, fan start-up times, or the time needed for dampers to open or close.
  • Makeup air: While some designs fail to even consider the need for providing makeup air for exhaust systems, others fail to consider the impact of the makeup air. What will be the impact of makeup air? What impact will the velocity have on plume dynamics and doors opening or closing? When answering these questions, consider the periodic testing and inadvertent operations of the system.
  • Interaction with other systems: These may include other systems, typically HVAC systems, in the building and other smoke control systems. The IBC requires one to consider the interaction effects of multiple smoke control systems.
  • System reliability: Reliability data for various fire protection systems and the components of such systems is often hard to obtain. Even where data may exist, the range of reliability of such systems documented in various studies may be significant. As an alternative, the design engineer might consider evaluating fire scenarios in which individual systems and features fail. This is consistent with a design fire scenario often required for performance-based designs
  • Coordination of design documents: Frequently, the design of a smoke control system is not prepared by a single engineer, such as a fire protection engineer, but instead by multiple engineers, each practicing within their areas of expertise. The Basis of Design letter must demonstrate the coordination effort by business name and responsible party full name and signature of all participants on the last sheet of the drawing set.
  • Damper supervision and control at the Firefighters Control Panel is required for all active-passive zone boundaries, e.g., corridor to residential units, group control and interlocking on fans with dampers is allowed. The minimum acceptable supervision and control required will indicate proper damper operation and fault condition for smoke control operation i.e., open and closed. These dampers shall be included in the UUKL Self-Test and fail-safe in the closed position
  • Fan supervision and control at the Firefighters Control Panel is required for all fans used in the smoke control system. Each fan and damper shall have a separate annunciator lights and controls, unless otherwise approved. Power (amperage and voltage) shall be supervised at the downstream side of the electrical disconnects and a positive means of verifying airflow shall be provided (pressure switch/airflow sensor) at each fan and indicated on the Firefighters Control Panel as a fault condition if failure occurs. Supervision and control of additional fans may be required in cases where an alternate/equivalent method is approved, e.g., where garage CO exhaust is utilized for smoke control, and use of supply fans are necessary for adequate smoke exhausting.
