Tips
- Layton's fire sprinkler fees are area-based (by square footage), not per-head — verify your building area bracket in the fee schedule.
- The 2024 IFC (as adopted by Layton per Design Criteria, Revised 7/1/26) governs fire protection requirements.
- Fire alarm plan review is $300 for an initial submission — separate from the sprinkler review fee.
- Coordinate sprinkler rough-in with the framing inspection — both must pass before insulation is installed.
