Fire Alarm System Permit in Roosevelt, Utah

Roosevelt City does not publish a standalone Fire Alarm System permit, application, or fee, and Roosevelt Fire Department (255 South State Street; AHJ contact Roger Eschler) has no fire-alarm-specific page or fee schedule of its own. The City's Commercial Building Permit Application captures fire protection work through a general 'Fire Protection Contractor' field rather than a distinct fire alarm checklist item, and the Consolidated Fee Schedule's own 'FIRE DEPARTMENT FEE SCHEDULE' section (Resolution 2024-322) contains only escalating False Alarm / Nuisance Fire Alarm Call penalty fees for repeat false-alarm dispatches -- not an installation or system permit fee. A new or altered fire alarm system is therefore processed under the general Commercial Building Permit (with its Fire Protection Contractor field), using the same citywide valuation-based Building Permit Fee table, plus the standard $25.00 Electrical Inspection fee that already governs other standalone electrical/life-safety wiring work in this jurisdiction (e.g., EV chargers).

Tips

  • Roosevelt City has no separate Fire Alarm System permit, application, or fee -- confirmed by direct PDF text extraction of the Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 2024-322) and the Commercial Building Permit Application, plus the industry-maintained Authorities Having Jurisdiction reference list, all re-checked 2026-07-22. This matches the same gap already documented in this file's fire-sprinkler-permit entry.
  • The Fee Schedule's only 'fire alarm' line item is a False Alarm / Nuisance Fire Alarm Call penalty fee (starting at $100.00 for a 3rd call in one year) -- this is charged for repeat false dispatches, not for installing or permitting a fire alarm system.
  • File a fire alarm system installation under the general Commercial Building Permit (using its 'Fire Protection Contractor' field), billed at the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee table plus the standard $25.00 Electrical Inspection fee.
