Fire Alarm System Permit in Nibley, Utah

Nibley's Consolidated Fee Schedule (both the 2024 edition and the current 2025-2026 edition approved 1-30-2026, full text searched directly) contains no 'alarm' fee line item related to fire alarm systems, and Nibley's Building Department and Planning & Zoning pages do not publish a separate fire-alarm application or checklist. As with fire sprinkler systems, fire-code plan review for buildings in Nibley is provided under an intergovernmental agreement with the Cache County Fire District, per Nibley's own 2020 Community Wildfire Preparedness Plan: 'Nibley City also has an agreement with Cache County Fire to help provide plan reviews for buildings, roads, and developments to ensure future developments, streets and roads meet fire code' (fire suppression response is separately contracted to Hyrum City). Cache County Fire District's own published Fee Schedule webpage returned no fee content when fetched and rendered directly (checked 2026-07-22), so whether Cache County Fire charges its own separate fire-alarm plan-review or permit fee could not be independently verified. Absent a published distinct fee, fire alarm system installations are permitted through Nibley's standard valuation-based Building Permit plus the city's flat $45.00 Fire Marshall Inspection Fee.

When you need this permit

  • Installation or alteration of a fire alarm system in a building within Nibley, regulated by the International Fire Code (IFC) and NFPA 72 as adopted and administered by the Utah State Fire Marshal's Office / Utah Fire Prevention Board (a separate adoption track from the Title 15A State Construction Code cycle that governs Nibley's IBC/IRC editions)
  • Two copies of engineered, stamped (if applicable), to-scale plans; electronic plans may be submitted with the application, per Nibley's official Building Department page general submittal requirements (no fire-alarm-specific submittal checklist is separately published)
  • Fire-code plan review is coordinated through the Cache County Fire District under Nibley's intergovernmental fire-services agreement (contact: Rod Hammer, Cache County Fire Chief, rod.hammer@cachecounty.org, (435) 994-1549), per Nibley's own 2020 CWPP
  • Compliance with the adopted 2023 National Electrical Code for alarm system wiring and power connections
  • Confirm applicable fee category and plan-review routing directly with the Nibley Building Department before applying, since no fire-alarm-specific line item is published on either the city's or Cache County Fire District's fee schedules

Fee schedule

Building Permit Fee (valuation-based, closest published analog)Nibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule, 'Building Permit Fees' section (unchanged between the 2024 and current 2025-2026 editions). Not confirmed as fire-alarm-specific; Nibley has no standalone fire-alarm permit line item, so this is the closest published, genuinely governing fee for fire alarm installation work.
$24.00 minimum (valuation $1-$500), scaling per Nibley's published valuation table for higher-value work
Plan Review FeeNibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule, 'Building Permit Fees' section, present unchanged in both the 2024 and 2025-2026 editions.

Fire Marshall Inspection FeeNibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule (2025-2026 edition, approved 1-30-2026), 'Business Licenses & Fees' section, row: 'Fire Marshall Inspection Fee -- $45.00.' The only fire-official-specific line item published in Nibley's own fee schedule.

Cache County Fire District plan-review/permit fee (unconfirmed)Cache County Fire District's own official Fee Schedule webpage (cachecounty.gov/fire/cachecounty.org/firefeeschedule.html) rendered with no fee content when fetched and loaded directly in a browser on 2026-07-22 -- the page displays only the 'Fee Schedule' heading with no table. A local newspaper (hjnews.com, referencing a proposed county fee increase) mentions county fire-service construction-permit fees differentiated by the presence of an alarm system, but that article describes a 'potential' increase discussed at a public hearing and does not confirm current adopted amounts or confirm applicability specifically to Nibley, so no dollar figure from it is used here.

Tips

  • Nibley has no distinct fire-alarm permit type or fee -- confirmed by a full-text search of both the 2024 and current 2025-2026 Consolidated Fee Schedules, neither of which contains an 'alarm' fee line item.
  • Fire-code plan review for buildings in Nibley is handled through an intergovernmental agreement with the Cache County Fire District, not by Nibley's own Building Department staff alone -- per the city's own 2020 Community Wildfire Preparedness Plan.
  • Cache County Fire District's own official fee-schedule webpage returned no content when checked directly (2026-07-22); confirm any separate fire-alarm plan-review fee directly with Cache County Fire (Rod Hammer, Fire Chief, (435) 994-1549) or the Nibley Building Department before applying.
  • Short-term rentals in Nibley are separately required to be inspected annually by the Fire Marshal to ensure the home meets residential fire standards, per Nibley City Code (NCC) 19.28.050(C)(1)(g) -- a distinct, ongoing fire-inspection obligation rather than an installation-permit fee.
