Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm Permit — No Town-Issued Product; Fire-Code Review by Round Valley Fire & Medical Department in Springerville, Arizona
The Town of Springerville adopts the 2015 International Fire Code as one of its own construction codes, but it issues no fire sprinkler or fire alarm permit and charges no fire permit fee. The Building Department's published permit-application inventory contains ten forms — Certificate of Occupancy, Demolition, Manufactured Home, Plan/Design Review, Septic Tank Abandonment, Shed/Storage, Sign, Solar, Utility/Mechanical and Wall/Fence — and none of them is a fire permit; the Town's Fee Schedule effective January 15, 2025 (both pages read from page renders) carries no fire-related line of any kind. What the Town does publish is a referral: 'ALL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND SOME RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR A REVIEW OF EXISTING FIRE CODES,' printed verbatim on both the Plan/Design Review and Shed/Storage permit applications, and the Town's own Certificate of Occupancy Application carries a 'FIRE/CO INSPECTOR' sign-off block alongside the 'BUILDING INSPECTOR' block. The fire department in question is the Round Valley Fire & Medical Department (199 N. Butler St., Eagar, AZ 85925; (928) 551-6200; RVFD@eagaraz.gov), a department of the neighbouring Town of Eagar which jointly serves Eagar and Springerville — the Town of Springerville's own Departments menu lists 'Fire' and links it directly off-site to that department's page on eagaraz.gov. Round Valley Fire & Medical publishes no fire sprinkler/alarm permit application, plan-review procedure or fee schedule of its own.

When you need this permit
- The Town of Springerville has adopted the 2015 edition of the International Fire Code alongside the 2015 IRC, IBC, IMC, IPC and IgCC and the 2014 National Electrical Code — stated verbatim on the Town's 'Building Health and Safety' reference document and restated on the Plan/Design Review and Shed/Storage permit application checklists.
- NO Town fire permit exists: the Building Department page's 'PERMIT APPLICATIONS' list (read live 2026-08-15) is Certificate of Occupancy, Demo Permit App, Manufactured Home Permit App, Plan Design Review App, Septic Tank Abandonment Form, Shed-Storage Permit App, Sign Permit App, Solar Permit App, Utility Mechanical App and Wall Fence Permit App. There is no fire sprinkler, fire alarm, fire suppression or fire-department form among them.
- NO Town fire fee exists: the Town of Springerville Fee Schedule effective January 15, 2025 was read in full from 150 dpi renders of both pages. Page 1 (BUILDING; MANUFACTURED/MODULAR/FBB PERMITS) and page 2 (ZONING APPLICATIONS; PROPERTY APPLICATIONS) contain no fire-related line item. The pdftotext extraction of this same fee schedule separated labels from values into two disjoint columns and could not be trusted for pairing, which is why both pages were read as images.
- Town referral to the fire department, printed verbatim on the Plan/Design Review Application and the Shed/Storage Building Permit Application: 'ALL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND SOME RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR A REVIEW OF EXISTING FIRE CODES.'
- The Town's Certificate of Occupancy Application (read from a 150 dpi render of page 2) contains an 'INSPECTED BY:' panel with two separate sign-off blocks — 'BUILDING INSPECTOR: Discrepancies: Yes __ No __' and 'FIRE/CO INSPECTOR: Discrepancies: Yes __ No __' — each with a signature and date line, confirming a fire inspection is part of the Town's occupancy process even though the Town issues no fire permit.
- The Town's Certificate of Occupancy guidance sheet (page 1 of the same PDF) refers throughout to 'Building/fire inspectors' acting jointly on electrical and life-safety clearance.
- The responsible fire agency is the Round Valley Fire & Medical Department, 199 N. Butler St., Eagar, AZ 85925, (928) 551-6200, RVFD@eagaraz.gov — identified by following the Town of Springerville's own Departments menu, where the entry labelled 'Fire' links off-site to https://www.eagaraz.gov/o/tofe/page/fire-department rather than to any Springerville page.
- Round Valley Fire & Medical Department publishes no fire sprinkler or fire alarm permit application, plan-review procedure, submittal checklist or fee schedule. Its department page carries only a mission statement, a services heading and contact details, and the Town of Eagar's own 20-document 'Permits' library (which hosts Eagar's building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, demolition, sign, conditional use and rezoning applications) contains no fire permit form either.
- Applicants should contact the Springerville Building Department (928-333-2656 ext. 227) and Round Valley Fire & Medical Department ((928) 551-6200) directly before starting fire sprinkler or fire alarm work, to confirm how the fire-code review will be routed for a specific project.

Inspection process

Fire/CO Inspection (Certificate of Occupancy)
The Town's Certificate of Occupancy Application requires a FIRE/CO INSPECTOR sign-off, recording whether discrepancies were found, alongside the Building Inspector's sign-off. This is the only fire inspection step the Town itself publishes; no separate fire sprinkler or fire alarm rough-in/final inspection sequence is published by the Town or by Round Valley Fire & Medical Department.

Tips
- DOCUMENTED ABSENCE, not an unsearched gap: the Town of Springerville publishes ten permit application forms and a two-page fee schedule, and neither contains a fire permit or a fire fee. Both fee-schedule pages were read as images because the text extraction of that PDF split labels and values into disjoint columns.
- Springerville is unusual for a small Arizona town in that it DOES adopt its own fire code (2015 IFC) rather than deferring code adoption to a district — but it still does not issue a fire permit. The fire-code review happens as a referral inside the Town's ordinary Plan/Design Review process, and the reviewing agency is Round Valley Fire & Medical, a Town of Eagar department.
- The Town's own Departments menu is the evidence for who the fire department is: 'Fire' is the only department entry that links off the Town's website entirely, pointing at eagaraz.gov. Springerville has no fire department page of its own (springervilleaz.gov/fire-department returns HTTP 404).
- Because the Town charges no fire permit fee and Round Valley Fire & Medical publishes no fee schedule, no dollar figure of any kind is recorded on this entry — none was found, and none was inferred from the neighbouring Timber Mesa or Pinetop district schedules.
- Plan an extra step for commercial work: a commercial Plan/Design Review submittal will be forwarded to the fire department for fire-code review, and the Certificate of Occupancy at the end of the project cannot be signed off without the FIRE/CO INSPECTOR block being completed.
