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 own 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, which 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 — confirmed by direct PDF text extraction of the county's Commercial Building Permit Application. Separately, for the narrower set of building types that fall under the Utah State Fire Prevention Board's own jurisdiction under 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 process (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 regardless of whether the county has its own dedicated Fire Marshal capacity. Whether a specific Daggett County project (e.g., a rural church hall, community center, or assisted-living use) crosses the 50-person/institutional threshold that triggers this state-level review is a project-specific determination not resolved by any published county document, so this entry is marked partial.
