Fire Sprinkler System Permit in Richfield, Utah
Richfield City does not publish its own fire-sprinkler-specific permit application, checklist, or fee: no mention of 'sprinkler,' 'fire suppression,' 'fire marshal,' or 'fire alarm' appears on richfieldut.gov's Forms & Applications or Frequently Asked Questions pages, and the city's own 2021 Plan Review and Building Inspection Services RFP (already cited elsewhere in this record for building/commercial review timelines) does not mention fire sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, or the State Fire Marshal anywhere in its scope of work. Richfield's Contacts page lists a Fire Chief (Dustin Anderson, 435-201-0593) but no separate Fire Marshal position. Installation or modification of an automatic fire sprinkler system in Richfield therefore requires two things that ARE independently verifiable from primary sources: (1) a Building Permit from Richfield City's Building Department, under the same general trigger for structural/electrical/mechanical work documented in the residential-building-permit entry of this record; and (2) direct plan-review submittal to the Utah State Fire Marshal's Office (SFMO), which publishes its own statewide 'Automatic Fire Sprinkler Plan Submittal Form' addressed generically to any project location in Utah (not just cities with their own fire marshal). Under Utah Code § 15A-5-102(2), the 'Authority Having Jurisdiction' (AHJ) for the State Fire Code is defined as the State Fire Marshal, an authorized deputy, OR the local fire enforcement authority — since Richfield does not publish evidence of its own fire-marshal-level sprinkler plan-review function, the State Fire Marshal's direct-submittal process is the governing, verifiable path for this permit type.

- Plans submitted by a company holding a valid State Fire Marshal sprinkler-contractor license number (the submittal form includes a required 'License #' field) Contractor

Quoted directly from the SFMO's official 'Automatic Fire Sprinkler Plan Submittal Form' (firemarshal.utah.gov, PDF, 2022 revision): 'SQUARE FEET x .022$ = $ ______________ Note: Minimum fee is $75.' The form states 'Fees must be paid before plan review will be released.' This is a genuinely governing, currently-published fee from the primary authority that administers sprinkler-system plan review in Utah generally; it is a statewide SFMO fee, not a Richfield-specific line item, because Richfield does not publish its own separate fire-sprinkler fee. A separate Richfield Building Permit fee would also apply to the associated construction, and that fee is unpublished per the residential-building-permit entry in this record.Review timeline
Inspection process
- 1
Fire Sprinkler System Inspection and Testing
Utah Administrative Code Rule R710-5, titled 'Automatic Fire Sprinkler System Inspecting and Testing' (published by the Utah State Fire Marshal's Office), governs post-installation inspection and testing of automatic fire sprinkler systems statewide. Richfield's own Building Inspector (435-896-6439) would separately inspect the associated construction under the city's general Building Permit process.

Tips
- Richfield does not have its own published fire-sprinkler permit, fee, or plan-review process — the governing, independently-verifiable fee and submittal process is the Utah State Fire Marshal's Office's statewide 'Automatic Fire Sprinkler Plan Submittal Form,' addressed to the SFMO in Sandy, Utah, not to Richfield City.
- The SFMO fee formula ($0.022/sq ft, $75 minimum) is based on the 'scope of work' square footage stated on the submittal form, not necessarily the whole building's square footage — confirm the correct scope figure with the submitting sprinkler contractor.
- A separate Richfield Building Permit is still required for the underlying construction per the city's general FAQ trigger language; that permit's own fee could not be independently verified, per the same DocHub-extraction gap documented for the residential-building-permit entry in this record.
- Utah Code § 15A-5-102(2) defines the 'Authority Having Jurisdiction' for the State Fire Code as the State Fire Marshal, an authorized deputy, OR the local fire enforcement authority — Richfield's own materials (FAQ, Forms & Applications, Contacts, and its 2021 Plan Review RFP) show no evidence that Richfield's Fire Department has assumed this plan-review function locally, so the SFMO's direct-submittal process is treated as the governing path here rather than an assumption.
