Fire Alarm Permit in Draper, Utah

Required for installation or alteration of a fire alarm system in Draper. The Draper City Fire Department's Fire Marshal's Office (Draper has operated its own fire department since exiting Unified Fire Authority on July 1, 2017) handles fire alarm plan review, permitting, and inspection directly, billed under the Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 26-29). A new-system fire alarm plan review and inspection is billed at a higher rate than remodel/tenant-finish alarm work; these figures are distinct from the fee schedule's separate 'False Alarm' penalty fees, which apply only to nuisance/false-alarm dispatch responses and are not a permit or installation fee.

Tips

  • Draper operates its own Draper City Fire Department (exited Unified Fire Authority on July 1, 2017) — the Fire Marshal's Office handles fire alarm permitting directly, not UFA.
  • Don't confuse the Fire Alarm Systems Plan Review fee ($150 new / $100 remodel) with the fee schedule's separate 'False Alarm' fees (items 183-187) — those are penalty charges assessed after repeated nuisance/false-alarm dispatches, not an installation permit fee.
  • Remodel or tenant-finish fire alarm work is billed at a lower rate ($100.00) than a brand-new system install ($150.00).
