Codes
The
Raytown Fire Protection District has adopted the 2006
version of the International Fire Code.
Likewise, the City of Raytown has
adopted all of the
International Codes at the same
time.
 Copies
of the code can be viewed at the Headquarters station Monday
through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM. There are no copies to take
home. If sections of the code are requested to be copied,
the fire district will gladly do so. However, the cost is
$1.00 per page. The
Fire District works closely with all divisions of the City
of Raytown's Community Development, Public Works, the
Circuit Court and the Police Department. Plan review for new
construction and remodeling is submitted and reviewed
simultaneously with the Joint Review Committee. Further
information on the JRC can be obtained from the City of
Raytown. Variances
and Appeals are set up through the Fire Board and Fire
Chief. Most of the time, these hearings are held on regular
meeting dates that the fire board convenes. The hearings are
usually set before regular business is held. Contact the
Fire Marshal for scheduling.
