Fire Sprinkler and Fire Alarm System Permit in Goodyear, Arizona

Goodyear requires a fire sprinkler and fire alarm system permit for: Fire code enforcement, plan review, and permitting for fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems in Goodyear are performed by the City of Goodyear Fire Department itself (Fire Prevention Division, 14455 W. Van Buren St., Suite E-102; Fire Administration 623-932-2300) -- Goodyear operates its own fire department and is not served by an outside regional fire district for this purpose, unlike some other Arizona jurisdictions in this corpus; Governed by the 2018 International Fire Code (IFC) as adopted and locally amended by the City of Goodyear (City Code Section 5-2-1, 'International fire code adopted'); the amendment to IFC Section 105.1.1 ('Permits required') adds that permits are non-transferable and that any change in occupancy, operation, tenancy, or ownership requires a new permit, and the amendment to IFC Section 105.2 ('Application') requires a written application, supporting documentation, and applicable fees submitted per the City of Goodyear Administrative Process Manual; Fire suppression (sprinkler) systems and fire alarm systems are explicitly named among the construction and design provisions covered by these City-amended IFC Section 105 permit requirements; All plans, including fire protection plans, are submitted to the Development Services Department (1900 N. Civic Square, Goodyear, AZ 85395); a Fire online application is also available, or the application form can be requested by contacting Fire Administration directly (623-932-2300 or in person at 14455 W. Van Buren St., Ste E102); Fire fees are established per International Building Code Section 109 and the City of Goodyear fee schedule as adopted by City Council (City Code Article 5-4, 'Fire Prevention Fees'; City Code Section 9-1-1, 'Adoption by reference'); the City's Building Safety Fees framework (documented elsewhere in this file) explicitly splits Building/Fire Permit fees into a Building Plan Review Fee (65% of the calculated permit fee) and a Fire Plan Review Fee (35% of the calculated permit fee), which appears to be the mechanism by which fire-system plan review -- including sprinkler and alarm -- is billed, rather than a separate stand-alone flat-fee list. If your project isn't listed, confirm with City of Goodyear Development Services — Building Safety Division at 623-932-3910 before starting work.

Fire plan review is billed as a 35%-of-permit-fee 'Fire Plan Review Fee' component of the City's general Building/Fire Permit fee structure (alongside a 65%-of-permit-fee Building Plan Review Fee), per the Development Services Fee Schedule. This review could not confirm whether the City also publishes a separate flat per-system or per-riser sprinkler/alarm fee line beyond that percentage-based component -- that figure is left unconfirmed rather than invented.

Goodyear does not publish a plan-review timeline for this permit. Contact City of Goodyear Development Services — Building Safety Division at 623-932-3910 for current turnaround.

You'll need: Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm Permit Application; Fire Protection System Plans and Specifications. Depending on your project, Goodyear may also ask for: Underlying City of Goodyear Building Permit Application. See the required-documents checklist on this page for details on each.

Goodyear, Arizona has adopted: Arizona has no mandatory statewide building code for general construction — the state legislature does not adopt a single edition binding all municipalities; each Arizona city/town or county adopts and amends its own building code by ordinance (contrast with counties, which are directed by A.R.S. Title 11 to adopt at least the most recent edition or the immediately preceding edition of the ICC codes for unincorporated areas). The City of Goodyear operates its own Development Services / Building Safety Division and administers its own adopted codes and permitting program within city limits — it does not defer to Maricopa County.

Goodyear operates its own City of Goodyear Fire Department and self-administers fire code enforcement and fire-system permitting through its Fire Prevention Division -- unlike some other Arizona jurisdictions in this corpus that are served by an independent regional fire district (e.g., Apache Junction's Superstition Fire & Medical District), there is no outside district involved here.
