Tips
- Clearfield's own building permit process does not itself review fire sprinkler plans — its Commercial Plans Submittal Checklist requires the applicant to submit 2 complete sets of fire sprinkler plans for Fire Department (NDFD) review and approval as a component of the overall commercial building or tenant-finish permit.
- NDFD's sprinkler plan review fee is tiered by square footage ($250 up to 3,000 sq ft, $350 for 3,001-10,000 sq ft, $0.005/sq ft over 10,000 sq ft beyond that point), but the $300 permit fee (3 inspections) is flat across all three tiers.
- A separate $300 Fire Pump Plan Review fee applies if the sprinkler system design includes a fire pump.
- Contact NDFD's Fire Marshal's Office directly (801-525-2850) to coordinate fire sprinkler plan review timing alongside the City's own Commercial Building or Tenant Improvement permit review.
