Anytime product is stored over 12 feet in a commercial warehouse, a High-Piled Storage (HPS) Permit is required. This permit shows the fire department that your sprinkler system, storage layout, and emergency exiting plan meet code. Operating without an HPS permit puts your company at risk for fines, delays, or even shutdowns. If you’ve received a corrective citation, Warehouse Permitting & Compliance LLC can step in immediately. We work directly with fire departments to bring your facility into compliance quickly and keep your operations running.

Any racking structure over 5 feet 9 inches in height must have a building permit, complete with structural calculations prepared by a licensed engineer. Permits are required before installation, but many warehouse operators are cited for unpermitted or non-compliant racks after the fact. At Warehouse Permitting & Compliance LLC, we’re here to help at any stage of your project. Permitting beforehand is easiest, but we specialize in retroactively permitting existing systems. Our team evaluates your layout, coordinates the necessary engineering, and submits all required documents to secure approval.

Many jurisdictions require a Photometric Permit, also called an Emergency Egress Lighting Permit, for warehouse facilities. This permit ensures that, during a power outage, your building’s emergency lighting provides enough illumination for occupants to exit safely. Obtaining this permit requires a lighting layout prepared by a licensed electrical engineer, showing that all egress paths meet minimum code requirements. Warehouse Permitting & Compliance LLC manages the entire process on your behalf— from engineering and plan preparation to final approval—so your facility stays compliant and your operations uninterrupted.
