Inspections

The Division of Fire and Life Safety Fire/Codes Inspectors are tasked with conducting annual inspections at existing businesses within the City limits as well as compliance inspections to obtain a business license. Every business is required to maintain a current business license in order to operate within the City. Find more information on obtaining a City of Florence business license.
