Commercial Building Permit
VerifiedRequired for new commercial building construction and for alterations, remodels, or tenant-improvement work to existing commercial buildings in the City of Holbrook. Commercial and residential construction share a single valuation-based fee line item -- 'Building Permit Fee (Commercial/Residential/New/Remodel/Accessory Building)' -- in the City's Fee Schedule (adopted November 15, 2025, Section 2-1), calculated using IBC/UBC Building Data-IRC 2018 Charts and Formulas. Reviewed against the 2018 International Building Code (City Code Sec. 5-2-2) and the 2018 NFPA Fire Code (Sec. 5-2-5), both adopted by the City (confirmed via live-rendered Municode session, 2026-07-23). No distinct tenant-improvement permit or fee schedule exists: City Code Article 5-1, Sec. 5-1-1 requires a building/construction permit whenever the cost of construction, remodeling, or improvement exceeds $1,000 (excepting floor/wall-covering replacement, window replacement, roofing, and painting), with no separate carve-out, application, or fee category anywhere in the Fee Schedule (Sections 2-1 through 2-14, 3-1 through 3-4) for tenant-improvement/remodel work distinct from new commercial construction -- both fall under the same Section 2-1 valuation-based line item and the same Sec. 5-1-1 permit trigger.

Fire Sprinkler and Fire Alarm System Permit
VerifiedNew or modified automatic fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems in the City of Holbrook are plan-reviewed and permitted by the Arizona Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM), not by the City. Holbrook's own City Code Chapter 5, Article 5-2 (Sec. 5-2-5) adopts the 2018 NFPA Fire Code as part of the City's general building-code chapter, and the City separately operates its own Fire Department (suppression/emergency response, Chief Alex Baker) -- but neither of those facts gives Holbrook OSFM-recognized jurisdiction over fire-protection-system plan review and permitting. Under A.R.S. § 37-1383(A)(5), OSFM enforces the state fire code statewide except in a city of 100,000 or more persons that has enacted an ordinance to assume that jurisdiction from OSFM; Holbrook's 2020 Census population is 4,858, and Holbrook does not appear on OSFM's own published list of 'Cities with Enacted Ordinances' with assumed jurisdictional authority (Chandler, Gilbert, Goodyear, Glendale, Mesa, Scottsdale, Surprise, and Yuma, all far larger cities). The underlying City of Holbrook Building Permit for the structure itself (the commercial-building-permit or residential-building-permit entry) is still required in parallel and does not substitute for the OSFM fire-system permit.
Verified 2026-08-04 · Source
Requirements
- New installation or modification of an automatic fire sprinkler system, fire alarm system, or other fire-protection system in Holbrook must be submitted directly to the Arizona Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) for plan review and permitting under the State Fire Code -- not to the City of Holbrook Building Department or the City's Fire Department
- OSFM has this jurisdiction because Holbrook (2020 Census population 4,858) does not meet the 100,000-person population threshold under A.R.S. § 37-1383(A)(5) required for a city to assume fire-code jurisdiction from OSFM, and Holbrook is not listed on OSFM's own 'Cities with Enacted Ordinances' page (which names only Chandler, Gilbert, Goodyear, Glendale, Mesa, Scottsdale, Surprise, and Yuma)
- All OSFM plan applications, permits, and payments must be processed through OSFM's online Permit and Plan portal (Permit Self Service) -- paper applications are no longer accepted by OSFM
- A separate OSFM plan review fee is charged for each fire-protection system reviewed, even if multiple systems (e.g., sprinkler and alarm) are included in one submitted plan set (Arizona Administrative Code R4-36-202(A)(2))
- OSFM shall determine within 5 business days of receipt whether a permit application/plan submission is administratively complete, and shall grant or deny the permit within 60 calendar days after the submission is determined complete (Arizona Administrative Code R4-36-303(A))
- A permittee must commence work within 180 days after OSFM permit issuance or apply in writing to OSFM for an extension, or the permit becomes invalid (Arizona Administrative Code R4-36-303(A)(3))
- The underlying City of Holbrook Building Permit for the structure itself is still required in parallel, per City Code Sec. 5-1-1 and the City's Fee Schedule Section 2-1 -- the OSFM fire-system permit does not replace it
- The City of Holbrook's own Fee Schedule (adopted November 15, 2025, Sections 2-1 through 2-14 and 3-1 through 3-4) contains no fire-sprinkler or fire-alarm-specific fee line of its own, consistent with fire-system permitting sitting with OSFM rather than the City

| OSFM Re-inspection Fee | $164 minimum, +$82 per each 25 miles (or portion) of travel beyond the first 25 miles required to reach the site | Arizona Administrative Code R4-36-202(A)(4), charged when OSFM must re-inspect due to a missed/cancelled inspection (without 24 hours' notice) or a failed inspection. |
| City of Holbrook Building Permit fees (underlying structure) | See this jurisdiction's commercial-building-permit / residential-building-permit entries | The City's Fee Schedule (adopted November 15, 2025) has no dedicated fire-sprinkler/alarm fee line -- the City-side cost for a fire-system project is only the general Section 2-1 building permit fee for the structure, separate from and in addition to OSFM's fees above. |
