Fire Sprinkler & Fire Alarm System Permit (Santa Fe County Fire Department — Fire Prevention/Risk Reduction Division) in Edgewood, New Mexico

Installation, modification, or repair of a fire sprinkler system or a fire alarm/detection system within a building in the Town of Edgewood is regulated by the Santa Fe County Fire Department (SFCFD) Fire Prevention/Risk Reduction Division rather than by the Town, because Edgewood has no fire marshal or fire-code enforcement office of its own. SFCFD's own website states it 'protects approximately 1900 square miles of unincorporated area as well as the incorporated Town of Edgewood.' The Town's Planning & Zoning page lists the 2015 International Fire Code as the only building-related code directly adopted by the Town (see this file's codesAdopted); SFCFD's Fire Prevention/Risk Reduction Division is the office that actually administers plan review, permitting, and inspection for fire protection systems under that code for the Edgewood area, the same way CID stands in for a missing Town building department for other construction permits.

Tips

  • There is no combined sprinkler-plus-alarm fee line — a project installing both systems is billed separately under each schedule (e.g., $75 residential sprinkler + $150 commercial fire alarm).
  • Bring the SFCFD-stamped set of plans to every inspection — SFCFD will not perform an inspection without them on site.
  • Only Visa/MasterCard/Discover, check, money order, or cashier's check are accepted for plan review fees; SFCFD does not accept cash.
