The West Covina Fire Department requires and enforces both operational and construction permits, in accordance with the California Fire Code. Permits are issued on a temporary or annual basis. 

Annual permits are identified during fire inspections and are issued for the storage or use of hazardous materials, to operate certain equipment, for the assembly of 50 or more people, or for the storage of certain combustible materials. An annual fee is assessed for permits, and invoices are mailed to the business by a third party billing company called Fire Recovery USA. After payment is received, a permit is sent to the business to display or keep readily available. Permits are dated and expire in one year.
