Fire Alarm System Permit / Plan Review in Price, Utah

Fire alarm system installation on property within Price City limits follows the same two-track split documented for fire sprinklers, but with an even thinner local record: Carbon County's Commercial and Industrial Structures checklist does not mention 'fire alarm' at all (only a general electrical plan and, separately, fire sprinkler plans) — fire alarm wiring work for an ordinary private building is folded into the general Carbon County building/electrical permit under its 'Altering electrical, gas, or plumbing systems' permit trigger (same basis already documented on this dataset's ev-charger-permit entry), with no distinct city or county fee published. Separately, ANY building falling under the State Fire Prevention Board's jurisdiction per Utah Admin. Code R710-4 — publicly owned buildings (including all public/private schools, colleges, and universities), institutional occupancies (hospitals, assisted living facilities, day care centers, and similar), and any place of assemblage where 50 or more persons may gather — requires a separate, mandatory Fire Alarm Plan Review Submittal filed directly with the Utah State Fire Marshal's Office (Sandy, UT), with its own real, published fee, in ADDITION to the local building permit. Price City's own full-service Fire Department (87 North 200 East, 435-636-3187) is the Local Fire Authority (LFA) for other buildings under Utah Admin. Code R710-9 §8's enforcement framework, but publishes no distinct fire-alarm fee schedule on its official webpage.

Carbon County / Price City local fire-alarm fee (ordinary private buildings)Carbon County's Commercial and Industrial Structures checklist and Building Permits page contain no fire-alarm-specific line item or fee; fire alarm circuits fall under the same 'Altering electrical, gas, or plumbing systems' general permit trigger already documented for EV charger installations in this dataset. Price City's own Fire Department publishes no fee schedule for fire-alarm plan review on its official webpage (priceutah.gov/fire-department.html, checked 2026-07-22). Re-chased 2026-07-23 (Wayback CDX sweep, Business License page/Ordinance 281 trace, Utah PMN full-text search API) with no new figure found — see this jurisdiction's residential-building-permit localAmendments for the full 2026-07-23 chase log; this is the same county-wide fee-table gap affecting the local (non-SFM) portion of every Carbon-County-administered permit type in this file.
No distinct dollar-amount fee found published — fire alarm wiring is folded into the general Carbon County building/electrical permit, which itself has no published valuation table (see this dataset's residential-building-permit and ev-charger-permit entries)

Price, Utah has adopted: GOVERNING LAW: Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (le.utah.gov/xcode/Title15A/Chapter2/15A-2-S103.html), version effective 7/1/2026 (amended by Ch. 47, 2026 General Session), sets the statewide-mandatory construction code suite — Utah Code § 15A-1-204 binds 'the state and each political subdivision,' which includes Carbon County as the compliance agency serving Price City (Price has no independent building-permit authority; see localAmendments). Carbon County's own Building Permits page ('What codes are enforced?' FAQ) still displays the pre-7/1/2026 edition list; re-checked live 2026-07-16, page text is byte-identical to the 2026-07-08 fetch ('2021 International Building Code, including Appendix J 2021 International Residential Code 2021-Appendix Q of 2021 IRC 2021 IPC, 2021 IMC, 2021 IFGC, 2020 NEC'). State law governs regardless of the page's lag; each line below states current law first, then the county's as-published (stale or omitted) text.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendix J — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective 7/1/2026. Carbon County's Building Permits FAQ still lists '2021 International Building Code, including Appendix J' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including Appendix Q — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c); this edition did NOT change in the 7/1/2026 flip. Matches Carbon County's FAQ, which lists '2021 International Residential Code, 2021-Appendix Q of 2021 IRC' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective 7/1/2026. Carbon County's FAQ still lists '2021 IPC' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), effective 7/1/2026. Carbon County's FAQ still lists '2021 IMC' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), effective 7/1/2026. Carbon County's FAQ still lists '2021 IFGC' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); this edition did NOT change in the 7/1/2026 flip. Carbon County's FAQ still lists '2020 NEC' (live re-check 2026-07-16) — this is a PRE-EXISTING discrepancy that predates and is unrelated to the 2026-07-01 code-cycle flip (the 2023 NEC has been state law since before this project's original 2026-07-08 review); reported here as-published rather than corrected.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), one statewide edition (no residential/commercial split) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), effective 7/1/2026. Not mentioned anywhere on Carbon County's Building Permits FAQ, Building Department page, or Building Information/Resources page as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added here as a statute-sourced omission (applies statewide regardless of county publication), not fabricated.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), effective 7/1/2026. Not mentioned on any Carbon County page reviewed as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added as a statute-sourced omission.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n), effective 7/1/2026. Not mentioned on any Carbon County page reviewed as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added as a statute-sourced omission.; Modular Building Institute (MBI) Standards 1200 and 1205 — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o), statewide-mandated for modular units. Not mentioned on any Carbon County page reviewed as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added as a statute-sourced omission.; No International Fire Code (IFC) entry: § 15A-2-103 does not adopt the IFC — it is separately governed under Title 15A Chapter 5, outside the scope of this section. Carbon County's FAQ does not list an IFC edition either, so there is no mis-citation to correct here.. Local amendments apply — see the Price overview page for the full list.

Not locally — Carbon County has no fire-alarm-specific permit category or fee; fire alarm wiring for an ordinary private building is handled as general electrical work under the standard building permit. Publicly owned buildings, schools/colleges, institutional occupancies, and assembly spaces for 50+ people additionally require a separate, mandatory Fire Alarm Plan Review Submittal directly to the Utah State Fire Marshal's Office.
