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 file 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 (checked live 2026-07-22). 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 file; 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.

Fee schedule

Utah State Fire Marshal's Office Automatic Fire Sprinkler Plan Review FeeQuoted 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 file.
Scope-of-work square footage x $0.022 per square foot, with a stated minimum fee of $75.00

Inspection process

  1. 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 file.
  • 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.

Richfield, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026 under the Utah Uniform Building Standard Act (Utah Code Title 15A); Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a). Richfield, as a Utah municipality, is bound to the statewide State Construction Code per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 and does not separately codify its own edition (its own FAQ/Forms pages, live-checked 2026-07-16, do not state any code edition at all); 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT statewide code; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment (consistent with the same statewide code confirmed on Murray City's official Building Division page, though Murray's own page has separately been found to contradict itself elsewhere — not relied on here beyond the general statewide-cycle confirmation); Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); Richfield does not separately itemize this, added here per statute; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); not itemized in Richfield's own materials (which cite only the statewide statute generally), added here per statute since this file had previously omitted it entirely; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with Utah amendments, single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not itemized in Richfield's own materials, added here per statute since this file had previously omitted it entirely; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — current statewide electrical code; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) did NOT change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027) took effect 15 days before this re-verification. This entry previously described the 2024-cycle codes in future tense ('takes effect July 1, 2026'); that date has now passed, so IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now stated as CURRENT (2024/2024/2024/2024/2024/2024/2024), while IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) remain unchanged and were already correctly stated. Richfield publishes no city-specific code-edition page (its FAQ and Forms & Applications pages, live-checked 2026-07-16, do not mention code editions at all), so this file continues to rely solely on the statewide statute rather than a lagging city page — there is no city-page conflict to record for Richfield.. Local amendments apply — see the Richfield overview page for the full list.

Richfield City does not publish its own fire-sprinkler plan-review process or fee. The Utah State Fire Marshal's Office (SFMO) publishes a statewide 'Automatic Fire Sprinkler Plan Submittal Form' for direct submittal to its Sandy, Utah office, and Richfield's own public records (FAQ, Forms & Applications, Contacts page, and its 2021 Plan Review RFP) show no separate local fire-marshal-level sprinkler review function. A separate Richfield Building Permit is also required for the construction itself.
