BUSINESS PERMITTING & ITM PORTAL

Cleveland Division of Fire

Commercial Permitting:

The Cleveland Division of Fire is improving the permitting experience with a more streamlined application and payment process—making it easier than ever to do business in our great city. Select the permits you need when creating your account.

Service Providers:

Cleveland’s ITM portal is the new place for submitting required inspection reports to the City Fire Marshal’s Office. Service providers are charged per submission, not per document, while inspectors gain centralized access to reports for more comprehensive inspections.
