fire inspection

be prepared to show the fire department your exits and make sure there's no locking latches or deadbolts with keys for the top lock, they have to have the turning lever . and they will check your fire extinguisher to make sure its the right type.

When do I have the fire inspection? Do I set up appt. before the agency come out.. or the agency tell me when.

I love where I live.....I applied for my license, turned in my completed paperwork and recieved my actual license to frame and hang all within 45 days.

The county I originally got licensed in took less than a month start to finish too. I had no idea how good I had it

When I moved, new county licensor was clueless and it took nearly 6 MONTHS. I knew more about the process and what needed to be completed than she did.





If I were you OP I'd do everything possible before the county comes out. If you know you're going to need a fire inspection and can set it up on your own accord go ahead and knock it out.

Most counties have licensing checklists available online so you can see what you're going to need to have done ahead of time. I'd knock out everything you possibly could based on that before you even contact the licensor.

I can't believe so many of you get yours so fast. From all reports I've received here in Wisconsin it is six months. Period. No matter how prepared you are or how little or how much you need to change or educate. Six months...... It's one of the things that has held me back.

I am in NY. I turned in my paperwork about a week ago and have already received phonecalls from the inspector and fire inspector. We made appointments for next week! It is moving much faster than I had anticipated and I couldn't be happier! Hopefully your state will go quickly as well. Good Luck!

Did you already take your classes?

My classes were 6 weeks, I turned in my paperwork the first class and had my fire & final inspection the day before my 90 days were up. So yep, it took me 6 weeks!

Once I turned my paper work in I was licensed within 2 weeks. I love MSDE! They said I'd have my license by September and I was worried bc the Fire Marshal was out sick. Once he came in, I took his approval over to MSDE and she said she'd have my license in the mail at the end of the day. Received it the next day.

How long does it take to receive home daycare license in Chicago, IL?

[Patches]

Took about a month from the day I turned in my completed paperwork to the day I was licensed. And about 2 weeks after that I received my copy of my license in the mail.

Did you mail it to Sacramento? Or maybe did it last year? I heard people that did it 3 years ago or less had problems because of the budget cuts and especially last year because the budget didn't pass in July like it should have. For example 4 years ago when I would call licensing (my local office down in Santa Barbara) the officer of the day would answer within three rings. Now I call and I can guarantee that I'll get voicemail, leave a message and get a call the next day or even 2 days later. Things are just not the same anymore.

I got licensed both time (first time and then updgrad) within 2 weeks of turning in my application. My first one was dec of 08 the second one was this past August. I guess it depends how busy they are. I was pretty lucky and got my license quick.

Chicago seems to take forever!! I turned in my paperwork in April of 2013 and currently still waiting for my inspection!!! I was told it depends on me but obviously that's not true, or I would not have quit my full time job!

Brooksie, How long ago was this? I am in MD also, I am just asking because all of my required inspections were done and my paperwork has been turned in and I am just curious of how fast OCC come out for there home inspection, and how long after that does it take to receive your CC licensing.
