Fire Sprinkler & Alarm Permit in Pierce, Colorado

Fire sprinkler system and fire alarm system work within Pierce town limits is reviewed and inspected by the Ault-Pierce Fire Protection District — the fire protection district serving the Town of Pierce (stations at 16680 CO Highway 14, Ault, CO and 601 2nd Street, Pierce, CO) — not by the Town's building department or its contracted building official, SAFEbuilt Inc. This is a separate permitting track from the Town's combined Building/Electrical/Plumbing/Heating permit process.

Tips

  • Fire sprinkler and fire alarm permitting in Pierce is handled by the Ault-Pierce Fire Protection District, not the Town of Pierce or SAFEbuilt Inc. — direct these applications to the district, not Town Hall.
  • The district publishes no dollar-figure fee schedule or downloadable sprinkler/alarm permit application on its website — call (970) 834-2848 or email info@aultpiercefire.org early in your project to confirm current submittal requirements and fees.
  • The district's own page notes plan reviews are 'typically' done within a week but that some projects need more time — build in schedule buffer rather than assuming the one-week figure is a guarantee.

Apply through Town of Pierce Planning & Zoning / Building Permit Department (Town Hall) at 144 Main Street, Pierce, CO 80650 (PO Box 57). Phone: 970-834-2851, email: info@piercecolo.gov. Office hours: Town Hall main line (970) 834-2851, fax (970) 834-2755, per the Town's Building Permit Application form. The Town's general Contact Us page lists the same address/phone but no posted office hours; the Planning and Zoning department directs all building-permit, addition, new-construction, annexation, and remodel questions to the Town Hall main line. Inspections (not permit intake) are scheduled directly with SAFEbuilt Inc. at 970-674-1036 or 1-866-671-1036, calls before 7:30 a.m. receive same-day inspection, after 7:30 a.m. scheduled for the next working day.

Pierce, Colorado has adopted: 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) — Town of Pierce Design Criteria page (Residential Construction Codes); 2024 Energy Conservation Code (residential) — Design Criteria page; 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Design Criteria page (Commercial Construction Codes); 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC); 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); 2024 International Energy Code (IECC); 2024 Pool and Spa Code; 2024 International Property Maintenance Code; 2024 International Existing Building Code; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — listed for both Residential and Commercial Construction Codes on the Design Criteria page; A note on which code edition actually governs. The Town's downloadable project guides in the Building Permits 'Supporting Documents' list are titled for the prior code cycle — '2018 IRC Accessory Structures Guide', '2018 IRC Decks Guide', '2018 IRC Home Additions Guide', '2018 Pole Barns Guide', '2018 Swimming Pools Guide', '2018 IRC Basement Finish Guide', '2018 IRC Patio Covers - Carports Guide', '2018 IRC Window Replacement', '2018 IRC Re-Roof Guide', '2020 NEC - Significant Changes Residential' — even though the Town's live Design Criteria page lists 2024 IRC/IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC, Pool-Spa, Property Maintenance and Existing Building codes plus the 2023 NEC as currently adopted. The Design Criteria page is the governing adopted-code list; the older guides are legacy documents whose filenames were never renamed, so use them for general guidance only and check requirements against the current editions.; State-level requirement: Electric Ready, Solar Ready, and EV Ready provisions apply per the Town's Design Criteria page, consistent with Colorado's HB22-1362 statewide energy-code floor (2021 IECC baseline plus electric/solar/EV-ready provisions, in effect July 2023-July 2026) — Pierce's own 2024 IECC adoption already meets or exceeds this floor, and the Town's page lists the electric/solar/EV-ready provisions as an explicit, separate 'State Code Requirements' item rather than folding them silently into the IECC line.. Local amendments apply — see the Pierce overview page for the full list.

The Ault-Pierce Fire Protection District, the fire protection district serving the Town of Pierce, handles fire sprinkler and fire alarm plan review and inspection under its adopted 2018 International Fire Code — not the Town of Pierce's building department or its contracted building official, SAFEbuilt Inc.
