Fire Inspections

Tiburon Fire District is excited to introduce our new online inspection scheduling system. All fire inspections can now be scheduled online. The self-serve scheduling website allows you to select any available day and time that works best for your project.

Select the type of inspection that you'd like to request from the appropriate drop-down options, and you will be routed to our online scheduler. By selecting an available appointment and completing a short form, you will be able to confirm your appointment in minutes and can reschedule and/or cancel appointments on your own.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us by choosing Option #1 or #2 on the phone tree at 415-435-7200 or by emailing inspections@tiburonfire.org.
