What Montgomery County Businesses Are Required to Inspect, and How Often
Portable fire extinguishers follow a four-tier NFPA 10 schedule:
| Schedule | NFPA 10 Requirement |
|---|---|
| Every 30 days | A visual check by your staff for access, charge, and damage. |
| Every year | Professional inspection and maintenance by a registered firm. |
| Every 6 years | Internal examination and maintenance for stored-pressure dry chemical units. |
| Every 5 or 12 years | Hydrostatic pressure testing, based on the extinguisher type. |
Texas adopts NFPA 10 by reference at 28 TAC 34.507, titled Adopted Standards. It names the standard Texas follows, so tags and service records matter at every fire marshal visit. Fire alarms, kitchen hood suppression, and emergency lighting each follow their own intervals, and we track them together.
Who Can Perform the Annual Extinguisher Inspection in Texas
In Texas, the firm doing the work must hold the right registration. An ECR (Extinguisher Certificate of Registration) covers portable extinguisher work, and an ACR (Alarm Certificate of Registration) covers fire alarm work. Both are firm registrations, not personal licenses. Industrial Fire holds ECR-2061363 and ACR-2368800, so you can check both numbers before you book. Individual technicians also need to be qualified for the work, so ask who will be on site.
Montgomery County Fire Code Permits and Inspections
Several offices can have authority over a Montgomery County commercial property, and the right one depends on where the building sits:
- Montgomery County Fire Marshal’s Office: 501 N Thompson St, Suite 102, Conroe, TX 77301, (936) 538-8288. It enforces the county’s International Fire Code.
- City of Conroe Fire Marshal’s Office: the authority for properties inside Conroe city limits.
- Montgomery County ESD 8 (South Montgomery County Fire Department): runs its own permits and inspections within its district.
Commercial occupancies, including a new occupant moving into an existing space, generally need fire code review, so ask the Fire Marshal’s Office what your project requires. For buildings in unincorporated areas, Texas Local Government Code Chapter 233 requires the county to approve or deny a plan within 30 days. The Fire Marshal’s Office says a plans reviewer typically reviews plans within seven to ten days. Build review time into your opening or move-in schedule. The Fire Marshal’s Office says a plans reviewer typically reviews plans within seven to ten days.
Services We Provide Across Montgomery County
Five service lines cover the life-safety systems most commercial buildings need:
- Fire extinguisher service: inspection, maintenance, recharge, and sales for ABC, Type K, CO2, and Halotron units.
- Fire suppression systems: installation, inspection, and service for kitchen hood and special-hazard systems.
- Fire alarm systems: inspection, testing, and monitoring support.
- Fire protection system repair: corrections after a failed inspection or a discharge, including emergency lighting.
- Fire alarm repair: panel and device repairs after a failed test or a trouble signal.
We are an authorized ANSUL, Amerex, and Pyro-Chem partner, so we service those systems with the manufacturer’s own requirements in view. Whether a unit should be recharged or replaced depends on its size, age, and condition, and a technician can tell you on the first visit.
Fire Protection for Restaurants, Medical Offices and Warehouses in Montgomery County
Restaurants and commercial kitchens in Conroe and The Woodlands need hood suppression, Class K extinguishers, and fuel shutoff to work as one system. Kitchen hood suppression needs professional service every six months, and again after a discharge or an appliance move. We handle restaurant fire suppression systems built on ANSUL equipment.
Medical and dental offices depend on alarm readiness, working emergency lighting, and clear exit routes, backed by records that match. Our healthcare fire protection work is built around clinical spaces.
Self-storage facilities, light industrial buildings, warehouses, and schools need reachable extinguishers, reliable alarms, working emergency lighting, and open exits. Layout and daily use create different hazards in each, so we start with how your building is used.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who Inspects Fire Extinguishers in Montgomery County, Texas?
Commercial extinguisher inspection and service must be done by a firm that holds a Texas ECR, the Extinguisher Certificate of Registration. The registration belongs to the company, not to an individual. Industrial Fire holds ECR-2061363 and services extinguishers in Conroe, The Woodlands, Magnolia, and Montgomery. Ask any vendor for its number, and keep the service tag and report for your fire marshal.
How Often Does a Commercial Fire Extinguisher Need Servicing in Texas?
Your staff should check each unit every 30 days, and a registered firm should inspect and maintain it every year. Stored-pressure dry chemical units also need internal maintenance every 6 years, and hydrostatic testing comes every 5 or 12 years depending on the type. Texas adopts NFPA 10 by reference, so these intervals are the state standard. The service tag shows what was done and when the next work is due.
Does Montgomery County Require a Fire Code Permit for a Change of Occupancy?
Yes. Commercial occupancies, including a new occupant taking over a space, need a fire code permit in Montgomery County. The county has adopted the International Fire Code, and the County Fire Marshal’s Office can tell you what your project requires. For buildings in unincorporated areas, state law gives the county 30 days to approve or deny a plan. Properties in Conroe, The Woodlands, or the MCESD 8 district may follow a different office’s process.
Which Fire Marshal Has Jurisdiction: Montgomery County, Conroe, or MCESD 8?
Your property’s location decides it. The Montgomery County Fire Marshal’s Office handles county fire code matters, the City of Conroe Fire Marshal’s Office covers buildings inside Conroe, and Montgomery County ESD 8 (South Montgomery County Fire Department) runs its own permits and inspections in its district. Mailing addresses can mislead, so confirm the exact jurisdiction before you plan work. The county office is at (936) 538-8288.
