ertified and highly qualified Municipal Firesafety Inspectors licensed by the State of Florida conduct fire safety inspections on all existing commercial buildings. The primary purpose of these inspections is to reduce and/or eliminate fire hazards that could increase the probability and/or the severity of fires within our community. Fire inspection is also conducted on all commercial buildings that are under construction. These inspections are conducted to insure compliance with all fire and building codes prior to occupancy. State and local ordinances mandate all inspections. Residential homes are inspected upon request from the homeowners.

Approximately 2,000 inspections are conducted annually by the Winter Park Fire Department. Compliance is achieved through education, rather than enforcement. Those business/building owners unwilling to comply within a reasonable time frame can be fined up to $500 per day and/or referred to the City of Winter Park Code Enforcement Board for stricter action.
