Tips
- Per the A.R.S. § 9-835 timeframes document, 'Residential Multi Family – Fire Sprinkler' is listed at 1/5/5 business days (11 total, 6 if no 2nd review needed); the City's timeframes table does not separately break out a single-family 'Residential Building – Fire Sprinkler' line (single-family fire sprinkler work would fall under the general Residential Building – New or Addition/Alteration tracks depending on scope), and 'Commercial Building – Fire' is listed separately at 1/5/6 (11 total).
- New fire sprinkler system installation is billed at $2.92 per square foot rather than by the general ICC valuation table used for most other building permit types.
- Minor fire sprinkler alterations (up to 50 heads) are issued as no-fee, over-the-counter permits — a notable exception to the City's otherwise fee-based permit structure.
