Fire Sprinkler System Permit in Centerville, Utah
Required for installation, modification, or removal from service of an automatic fire sprinkler (suppression) system in Centerville. Centerville's own City Fee Schedule (Chapter 4) has no fire-suppression line item because fire protection system plan review and permitting for Centerville is handled entirely by South Davis Metro Fire (SDMF), a special fire district confirmed by its own website to serve 'Bountiful, Centerville, North Salt Lake, West Bountiful, Woods Cross and the unincorporated areas of South Davis County' — a separate submittal, agency, and fee from the City's own Building Division / Sunrise Engineering building-permit process.

Fee schedule
Sprinkler Plan ReviewSDMF Fee Ordinance (04/2024), 'PERMITS/PLAN REVIEWS/INSPECTIONS' section: 'Sprinkler - Plan Review ... $100 per hour, Minimum 1 hour.' Confirmed by direct PDF fetch 2026-07-21 (sdmetrofire.gov/_files/ugd/39b2d8_f44d3ef1ace841c7b612589d1a5b0a54.pdf) and independently corroborated by SDMF's Plan Reviews page (sdmetrofire.gov/copy-of-plan-reviews-1, fetched live 2026-07-21), which states an additional $100 plan review fee applies for suppression systems with fewer than 10 devices.
$100 per hour, minimum 1 hour
Fire Sprinkler System PermitSDMF Fee Ordinance (04/2024), same section: 'Fire sprinkler system permit (3 Inspections) ... $300.' This flat $300 permit fee (covering 3 inspections per the ordinance) is separate from, and in addition to, the hourly Sprinkler Plan Review fee above. SDMF's Plan Reviews page independently confirms the $300 figure under 'SUPPRESSION REVIEWS - $300 (includes review and 2 inspections)' -- the formal, dated Fee Ordinance's '3 Inspections' is treated as authoritative over the website's '2 inspections' wording.
$300
Deferred Submittal (10+ devices)South Davis Metro Fire, Plan Reviews page (sdmetrofire.gov/copy-of-plan-reviews-1, fetched live 2026-07-21): projects with 10 or more devices are reviewed by a qualified third-party reviewer and do not require SDMF's own plan review fee. The $300 permit fee itself is not stated as waived.
No additional SDMF plan review fee (third-party reviewer paid separately by applicant)

Tips
- Fire sprinkler plan review and permitting for Centerville is handled entirely by South Davis Metro Fire (SDMF), not the City's Building Division or its contracted inspector Sunrise Engineering -- submit to fireplans@sdmetrofire.gov, separately from the City's own Building Permit Application.
- Budget for both fee components: the $100/hour (1-hour minimum) Sprinkler Plan Review plus the flat $300 Fire Sprinkler System Permit fee -- SDMF's website bundles these into a single line ('Suppression Reviews - $300'), but the dated Fee Ordinance breaks them out separately.
- This SDMF fee is entirely separate from, and in addition to, Centerville's own Commercial Building Permit Fee and 65% Commercial Plan Review fee (Fee Schedule §§ 4.010/4.040) for the same construction project.

Not affected by the § 15A-2-103 7/1/2026 amendment (governed by § 15A-2-104 instead).; Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, 1997 Edition — adopted by Ord. 2017-03, amended by Ord. 2025-04, per CMC § 10.03.100. Not a § 15A-2-103 code; unaffected by the 7/1/2026 amendment.; International Property Maintenance Code, 2006 Edition — adopted by Ord. 2017-03, amended by Ord. 2025-04, per CMC § 10.03.110.

CORRECTION (2026-07-16): this file's prior entry described the IFC edition as '2015 Edition per the 2017 code compilation text' and reported the full CMC § 10.03.120 text as unextractable due to JavaScript rendering — both are superseded by a successful live browser re-read of centerville.municipalcodeonline.com on 2026-07-16, which returned full section text confirming the 2021 IFC (not 2015) is currently codified. The IFC is NOT among the codes adopted by Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (Title 15A Chapter 2, State Construction Code) — Utah's Fire Code is separately adopted under Title 15A Chapter 5, State Fire Code Act — so no statutory edition change via § 15A-2-103 applies to this entry regardless.; International Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Code — CMC § 10.03.125, confirmed via live browser re-read 2026-07-16 (previously unextractable): the 2006-edition Utah WUI Code (adopted by Ord. 2017-03, per Utah Code Title 65A Ch. 8) governs UNTIL January 1, 2027, at which point the 2024-edition International WUI Code (adopted by Ord. 2026-03 on 3/3/2026, amended by Ord. 2026-09 on 4/21/2026) takes over per a dual-dated code section. This is a Title 15A Ch. 2 local-amendment-adoptable code under § 15A-2-103(2), distinct from the seven codes listed in § 15A-2-103(1) that are the focus of this file's 7/1/2026 update.; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027) took effect 15 days before this re-verification. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did NOT change. Centerville Municipal Code Title 10.03 was live re-read in full via browser (centerville.municipalcodeonline.com, JavaScript-rendered — the WebFetch tool that previously reported this content as unextractable returns only template chrome; the Browser pane renders full section text) on 2026-07-16 and IS STILL LAGGING on every code family Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1) bumped to 2024: IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/ISPSC(residential) all remain codified at their pre-7/1/2026 (2021) editions, most recently touched by Ord. 2025-04 (4/1/2025), which predates the statute's effective date. The NEC section (§ 10.03.070, amended by Ord. 2026-03 on 3/3/2026 — Centerville's most recent construction-code ordinance) is CORRECT at 2023, and the IRC section is correctly unchanged at 2021.
