Tips

  • West Jordan operates its own Fire Department — unlike several nearby smaller cities served by Unified Fire Authority or a special fire district, West Jordan's own Fire Marshal's Office (Paul Brockbank) handles sprinkler permitting directly, billed through the same Consolidated Fee Schedule as other city permits.
  • West Jordan's fee schedule bills fire sprinkler permits by head count under 'FIRE INSPECTIONS,' not as a separate 'plan review + permit' split like some neighboring fire districts — the 1-25 head tier ($127) explicitly bundles plan review into the fee.
  • Multi-family housing sprinkler fees are billed per building ($171 for 1-99 heads, $253 for 100+ heads), separate from the per-head commercial tiers.
