Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm Permit in Unincorporated Daggett County, Utah

Unincorporated Daggett County does not publish a distinct fire-sprinkler or fire-alarm permit, application, checklist, or fee of its own. For ordinary commercial construction, fire protection is reviewed as part of the general Commercial Building Permit: the county's Commercial Building Plans Checklist requires 'Fire separation, fire wall, fire barrier or any fire resistant construction detail' and 'Smoke detectors and/or fire alarm locations' to be shown on the submitted plans, and the plans must be stamped by the county Fire Chief (Dutch John Fire Department, or the Manila/Flaming Gorge Fire and EMS District, depending on location) before the Building Official issues the permit — per the county's Commercial Building Permit Application. Separately, for the narrower set of building types under the Utah State Fire Prevention Board's jurisdiction per Utah Admin. Code R710-4 — publicly owned buildings; public/private schools, colleges, and universities; hospitals, assisted-living facilities, day cares, and similar institutional occupancies; and any place of assemblage where 50 or more persons gather — the Utah State Fire Marshal's Office runs a separate statewide plan-review submittal (Automatic Fire Sprinkler Plan Submittal Form and Fire Alarm Plan Review Submittal Form, $0.022 per square foot reviewed, $75 minimum fee, submitted to planreviews@utah.gov). That applies whether or not the county has its own Fire Marshal capacity. Whether a specific Daggett County project — a rural church hall, community center, or assisted-living use, for example — crosses the 50-person/institutional threshold that triggers state-level review is a project-specific determination no published county document resolves. Ask the county and the State Fire Marshal's Office before you assume either way.

When you need this permit

  • Ordinary commercial fire-sprinkler and fire-alarm work: reviewed within the general Commercial Building Permit — plans must show fire separation/fire-resistant construction detail and smoke detector/fire alarm locations, and must be stamped by the county Fire Chief before the Building Official issues the permit
  • No separate sprinkler-system fee line, contractor-license requirement, or standalone application is published by the county for this scope
  • Buildings under Utah State Fire Prevention Board jurisdiction (Utah Admin. Code R710-4): publicly owned buildings; public or private schools, colleges, or universities; hospitals, mental hospitals, sanitariums, homes for the aged, assisted living facilities, children's homes, or day care centers; and any place of assemblage where 50 or more persons may gather for amusement, entertainment, instruction, or education
  • For R710-4 buildings, sprinkler and alarm plans are submitted directly to the Utah State Fire Marshal's Office (not to Daggett County) via the statewide Automatic Fire Sprinkler Plan Submittal Form and/or Fire Alarm Plan Review Submittal Form, with water-supply analysis (static/residual pressure, flow), hydraulic calculations, and (for alarm systems) device locations, power connection, battery calculations, and voltage-drop calculations

Tips

  • Daggett County has no standalone fire-sprinkler or fire-alarm permit — for ordinary commercial construction, budget the Fire Chief's plan stamp as part of the general Commercial Building Permit review, not as a separate filing.
  • The Utah State Fire Marshal's $0.022/sq ft (min $75) statewide plan-review fee applies only to buildings under State Fire Prevention Board jurisdiction (Utah Admin. Code R710-4) — publicly owned buildings, schools/colleges, hospitals/institutional occupancies, and assembly spaces of 50+ people — not to a typical small private commercial building.
  • If a project is unsure whether it crosses the 50-person assembly threshold or otherwise falls under R710-4, contact the Utah State Fire Marshal's Office directly (801-256-2390, planreviews@utah.gov) in addition to Daggett County Planning & Zoning — county materials do not resolve this determination.
  • Confirm which local fire department has jurisdiction over the project site before applying: Dutch John Fire Department covers the eastern part of the county, while the Manila/Flaming Gorge Fire and EMS District covers the Manila area.

No. The county's Commercial Building Permit Plans Checklist requires fire separation/fire-resistant construction detail and smoke detector/fire alarm locations to be shown on the plans submitted with the general commercial application, and those plans must be stamped by the county Fire Chief before a permit is issued — there is no distinct fire-sprinkler or fire-alarm permit, application, or fee published by the county.

Only for buildings that fall under the State Fire Prevention Board's jurisdiction per Utah Admin. Code R710-4 — publicly owned buildings; public or private schools, colleges, and universities; hospitals and similar institutional occupancies; and any place of assemblage where 50 or more people gather. For those buildings, sprinkler and alarm plans go to the Utah State Fire Marshal's Office ($0.022/sq ft, $75 minimum, planreviews@utah.gov) rather than, or in addition to, the county's own Fire Chief stamp. An ordinary small private commercial building in Daggett County does not meet this threshold and stays with the county's general Commercial Building Permit process.
