Fire Sprinkler Permit in Draper, Utah

Required for installation, alteration, or repair of an automatic fire sprinkler system in Draper. Draper has operated its own city Fire Department since exiting Unified Fire Authority on July 1, 2017 (Draper City Council voted 4-1 to withdraw); the Draper Fire Marshal's Office handles fire sprinkler plan review, permitting, and inspection directly, billed through the same Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 26-29) that covers the city's other permits. Residential systems use a flat inspection fee; commercial new-system installs and commercial remodel/tenant-finish work are billed on separate head-count tiers, with the remodel/tenant-finish tiers priced lower than new-system installs.

Tips

  • Draper left Unified Fire Authority on July 1, 2017 and operates its own Draper City Fire Department — fire sprinkler permitting is handled by Draper's own Fire Marshal's Office, not UFA.
  • Commercial remodel/tenant-finish sprinkler work is billed at a lower rate than a brand-new system install — confirm which tier applies with the Fire Marshal's Office before budgeting.
  • Residential fire sprinkler inspections include 2 inspections in the base $100.00 fee; commercial plan reviews include 3 inspections in the base fee.
  • An expedited fire plans review doubles the applicable permit fee.
