Is Madera part of the Fresno area?
Yes. In OMB's July 2023 update, the federal Fresno metro area is "Fresno County, Madera County." Madera County is still its own county, with its own building and fire offices. So a Madera building doesn't follow Fresno County or City of Fresno rules.
That matters in two places:
- Permits: they go to a Madera office, not a Fresno one.
- Fire doors: Fresno Fire's rule for filing fire-door test reports through The Compliance Engine is a City of Fresno rule (Fresno Fire Prevention). In Madera, ask the local fire authority.
Madera's industrial areas
Madera sits on State Route 99 north of Fresno.
- South Schnoor Avenue: the Madera County Economic Development Commission described a 144,000-square-foot light-industrial project at 325 S. Schnoor Ave. as being "in an existing industrial corridor less than two miles from Highway 99" (2021).
- Manufacturing: the City of Madera's business page lists manufacturers among the area's major employers.
Plants, warehouses and shops across Madera and Chowchilla can call. The equipment doesn't change at the county line. The offices do.
Who issues permits for door work in Madera?
It depends on whether the building is inside the City of Madera, in Chowchilla, or in unincorporated Madera County.
| Where the building is | Permit office |
|---|---|
| City of Madera | City of Madera Building Division, 559-661-5440. Building applications and handouts are on the city's website |
| Unincorporated Madera County | Madera County Building Division, with County Permits Online |
| Chowchilla | The City of Chowchilla. Check with the city |
Things to know:
- Door guidance: we didn't review a door-specific permit list for Madera.
- Replacements and new wiring: a door replacement, a new opening, new opener wiring, or a fire-rated door may be handled differently from a simple repair.
- Before work starts: ask the company whether your job needs a permit and who pulls it. The Madera office has the final say.
Fire doors in Madera
- Inside the city: the City of Madera Fire Department.
- Unincorporated Madera County: the Madera County Fire Department.
- Chowchilla: ask the city.
- What we checked: we didn't review either one's fire-door rules. Ask the right one how it wants rolling fire-door tests documented.

Before you authorize work at a Madera County building
We can't quote your repair from a web page. The price depends on the equipment, the fault, parts, and access. A Madera job adds a few questions of its own:
- Travel: "Does the drive to Madera or Chowchilla change the price, and is there a trip charge?"
- Permit: "Will this go to the City of Madera, the County, or Chowchilla, and who pulls it?"
- License: ask for the California license number (D-28 for doors, D-21 for dock levelers) and check it on the CSLB lookup.
- Written scope: ask whether you're getting an estimate or a written quote.
The full cost table and license rules are on the Fresno loading dock page.
