Williamson County Fire Code

At Williamson County ESD 9, we prioritize the safety of our community. We adhere to the rigorous fire code regulations set forth by Williamson County. These regulations encompass everything from fire alarm systems to building materials, ensuring that residential and commercial properties are equipped with the necessary measures to mitigate fire hazards.


Effective July 1, 2023, Williamson County Emergency Service District 9, adopted the 2018 International Fire Code for the district Fire Code.  The Williamson County Fire Marshal is now the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) within the district.

As the governing body of Williamson County, Texas, the Commissioners Court finds that adopting a Fire Code and requiring permits for the construction of commercial establishments, public buildings and multi-family residences in the unincorporated areas of Williamson County will protect the health, safety and welfare of life and property of the general public. The Fire Code requires periodic inspection of new and existing structures to ensure safety standards are being maintained for the continued practice of life safety and property conservation.
