Fee schedule

Sprinkler Plan ReviewSDMF Fee Ordinance (04/2024), 'PERMITS/PLAN REVIEWS/INSPECTIONS' section, line item 'Sprinkler - Plan Review ... $100 per hour, Minimum 1 hour' — fetched directly as a PDF and rendered to confirm column alignment. This is the plan-review component referenced imprecisely on SDMF's website as 'will require a plan review fee of $100 if there are less than 10 devices' (see Deferred Submittal fee below for the 10+-device case, where this fee is waived in favor of third-party review).
$100 per hour, minimum 1 hour ($100 minimum)
Fire Sprinkler System PermitSDMF Fee Ordinance (04/2024), same section: 'Fire sprinkler system permit (3 Inspections) ... $300.' This flat $300 permit fee includes 3 inspections and is separate from (in addition to) the hourly Sprinkler Plan Review fee above. SDMF's website (sdmetrofire.gov/copy-of-plan-reviews-1) independently confirms the $300 figure under 'SUPPRESSION REVIEWS - $300 (review /2 inspections)' — the formal fee ordinance's '3 Inspections' is treated as authoritative over the website's '2 inspections' wording since the ordinance is the dated, official fee-setting document.
$300
Deferred Submittal (10+ devices)South Davis Metro Fire, Plan Reviews page (sdmetrofire.gov/copy-of-plan-reviews-1, re-fetched live 2026-07-20): 'DEFERRED SUBMITTALS - If there are more than 10 devices, the plans will need to be reviewed by a qualified 3rd party reviewer... and will not require a plan review fee.' The third-party reviewer is paid separately by the applicant; SDMF's own Sprinkler Plan Review fee (above) is waived in this case. The $300 permit fee itself is not stated as waived.
No additional SDMF plan review fee

Tips

  • Fire sprinkler plan review and permitting in West Bountiful is handled entirely by South Davis Metro Fire (SDMF) — a separate agency and fee from the City's own building permit and Sunrise Engineering plan review. Submit to fireplans@sdmetrofire.gov, not the City Building Department.
  • West Bountiful's own Building Permit Application Requirements list separately notes that solar panel permits require prior approval from the South Davis Metro Fire Marshal (801-677-2407) — a reminder that SDMF sign-off can apply beyond just sprinkler/alarm installs.
  • SDMF's fee page states incomplete submissions will not be reviewed, and final inspections will not be scheduled until the pre-check list is complete.
  • Budget for both fee components: the $100/hour (1-hour minimum) Sprinkler Plan Review plus the flat $300 Fire Sprinkler System Permit fee, per SDMF's own Fee Ordinance (04/2024) — SDMF's website bundles these into a single confusingly worded line, but the formal ordinance breaks them out separately.

Note: West Bountiful's own Building Permits page (wbcityut.gov/building-permits) still instructs applicants to submit 'Building Plans/Drawings per 2015 IRC' (re-confirmed live 2026-07-16), which appears to be stale/unrevised web copy rather than a deliberate local amendment — Utah's Building Code Commission sets a single statewide IRC edition and West Bountiful does not publish any ordinance opting out of the current statewide cycle, so the current statewide 2021 IRC is used here rather than the page's stale reference.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) with Utah amendments — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), in force since July 1, 2026 (superseded the 2021 IPC).; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) with Utah amendments — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), in force since July 1, 2026 (superseded the 2021 IMC).; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), in force since July 1, 2026; not separately itemized on West Bountiful's own Building Permits page, added here as it applies statewide.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) with Utah amendments — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), in force since July 1, 2026 (superseded the 2021 IEBC).; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with Utah amendments — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), in force since July 1, 2026 (superseded the 2021 IECC; one edition applies statewide, no separate residential/commercial split).; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g), unchanged by the July 1, 2026 code cycle flip..
