Fire Plan Review Permit (Fire Sprinkler & Fire Alarm Systems) in Tooele, Utah

Tooele City does not publish separate line-item fees for fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems the way some neighboring Utah cities do. Instead, new fire protection system installations (including sprinkler and alarm systems) for new construction or remodel work go through a single 'Fire Plan Review Permit,' submitted to and reviewed by Tooele City Community Development / Fire Department together, with one associated permit fee. Re-chased 2026-07-20: re-fetched the Fire Plan Review Permit application form directly, confirmed the current version (still dated 02-2025, unchanged) shows the identical pre-printed 'OFFICE USE ONLY 0202 — $500' fee field; re-searched the live Fee Schedule page's full 'Fire Permits IFC 105.6' section (Fireworks, Pyrotechnics, Hot Works, Exhibit/Trade Show, Special Amusement, Temporary Structures, Carnivals, Non-Combustible Temporary Structures) line by line and confirmed no fire sprinkler/alarm plan-review or permit line, and no fee code '0202,' appears anywhere on the general schedule. The $500 figure on the official application form is the only fee Tooele City publishes anywhere for this permit type.

Fee schedule

Fire Plan Review PermitPre-printed 'OFFICE USE ONLY' fee field on Tooele City's Fire Plan Review Permit application form (FirePlanReviewPermit02-2025.pdf, dated 02-2025) reads '0202 — $500.' Re-fetched and re-confirmed directly 2026-07-20 (same $500 figure, same form version). The application form does not break this fee out separately by fire sprinkler vs. fire alarm system, and Tooele City's general online Fee Schedule (tooelecity.gov/services/finance/fees.php, re-checked live 2026-07-20 including the full 'Fire Permits IFC 105.6' line-item section) does not list a distinct fire sprinkler or fire alarm plan-review line item either — this $500 figure from the application form itself is the only fee Tooele City publishes anywhere for this permit type.

Tips

  • Unlike some neighboring Utah cities (e.g., Roy City, Spanish Fork), Tooele City's published Fee Schedule does not break out separate dollar figures for fire sprinkler system plan review vs. fire alarm system plan review — both appear to route through the same generic 'Fire Plan Review Permit.'
  • The $500 fee comes from the pre-printed office-use field on the application form itself, not from the general online Fee Schedule page. Re-confirmed current 2026-07-20 by re-fetching the live form directly (unchanged) and re-searching the full Fee Schedule fire-permits section (no conflicting or updated figure found) — this appears to be a genuinely stable, correctly-cited fee.
  • Tooele City's fee schedule does separately list several recurring/inspection fire fees not tied to new installation — e.g., 'Fire Alarm Panel Inspection – submitted to 3rd party' ($25) and 'Fire Riser Inspection – submitted to 3rd party' ($25) — these are distinct from the Fire Plan Review Permit fee and appear to apply to ongoing testing/inspection rather than new system plan review.

Tooele, Utah has adopted: GOVERNING LAW: Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (le.utah.gov/xcode/Title15A/Chapter2/15A-2-S103.html), version effective 7/1/2026 (amended by Ch. 47, 2026 General Session), sets the statewide-mandatory construction code suite (Utah Code § 15A-1-204 — binds every municipality; local amendments permitted, a different edition is not). Tooele City's own Building Codes and Design Criteria sheet (08-27-2025) still displays the pre-7/1/2026 edition list; re-fetched live 2026-07-16 from the same URL (files.tooelecity.gov/.../Tooele City Building Codes and Design Criteria (08-27-2025).pdf) and PDF-text-extracted — content is byte-for-byte the same list as the original 2026-07-04 fetch, and it is still the current document linked from the city's Applications & Forms page. State law governs regardless of the page's lag; each line below states current law first, then the city's as-published (stale) text.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC) including Appendices C and J — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective 7/1/2026. Tooele City's Building Codes and Design Criteria sheet still lists '2021 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE (IBC) INCLUDING APPENDICES C AND J' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) including Appendices AQ and AE — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c)/(k); this edition did NOT change in the 7/1/2026 flip (Appendix AE is separately adopted under § 15A-2-103(1)(k), subject to § 15A-2-104(1)). Matches Tooele City's sheet, which lists '2021 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE (IRC) INCLUDING APPENDICES AQ AND AE' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective 7/1/2026. Tooele City's sheet still lists '2021 INTERNATIONAL PLUMBING CODE (IPC)' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), effective 7/1/2026. Tooele City's sheet still lists '2021 INTERNATIONAL MECHANICAL CODE (IMC)' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC, labeled 'IFC' on the city's own sheet) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), effective 7/1/2026. Tooele City's sheet still lists '2021 INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE (IFC)' [sic — the city's own document mislabels the IFGC as 'IFC'; this is NOT a reference to the actual International Fire Code, which § 15A-2-103 does not adopt at all (see IFC note below)] (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), effective 7/1/2026. Tooele City's sheet still lists '2021 INTERNATIONAL EXISTING BUILDING CODE (IEBC)' (listed twice in the city's own document; live re-check 2026-07-16 confirms both instances unchanged).; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h) — ONE statewide edition, no residential/commercial split. Tooele City's own sheet still splits IECC into '2021 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE (IECC) USE COMMERCIAL PROVISIONS' and '2015 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE (IECC) USE RESIDENTIAL PROVISIONS' (live re-check 2026-07-16, unchanged) — collapsed here to the single current 2024 statewide edition per statute, with the city's split preserved as history: the 2015-residential/2021-commercial split pre-dates the 7/1/2026 flip and was already an unusual, internally inconsistent split under the PRIOR law (2015 residential IECC was already an older cycle than the 2021 commercial IECC in the same document) — a PRE-EXISTING lag, separate from and older than the 2026 transition.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); this edition did NOT change in the 7/1/2026 flip, and Tooele City's own sheet already correctly lists '2023 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE (NEC)' (live re-check 2026-07-16) — no correction needed here.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n), effective 7/1/2026. Not mentioned on Tooele City's Building Codes and Design Criteria sheet or Applications & Forms page as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added here as a statute-sourced omission (applies statewide regardless of city publication), not fabricated.; Modular Building Institute (MBI) Standards 1200 and 1205 — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o), statewide-mandated for modular units. Not mentioned on Tooele City's Building Codes and Design Criteria sheet as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added as a statute-sourced omission.; No International Fire Code (IFC) entry: § 15A-2-103 does not adopt the actual IFC — it is separately governed under Title 15A Chapter 5, outside the scope of this section. The 'IFC' label on Tooele City's own sheet is a mislabeling of the IFGC (see IFGC line above), not a genuine IFC citation, so there is no separate IFC mis-citation to correct.; ICC/ANSI A117.1-2009 (accessibility standard) — per the same source (live re-check 2026-07-16, unchanged). This accessibility standard is not among the codes enumerated in Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1); reproduced here as Tooele City's own published statement, not itself corrected against that section.; Utah State Amendments per Title 15A State Construction and Fire Codes Act — per the same source.. Local amendments apply — see the Tooele overview page for the full list.

Tooele City does not have separate fire sprinkler and fire alarm permits with distinct published fees. Both route through the same 'Fire Plan Review Permit,' submitted online or to the Community Development Department (Suite 108, Tooele City Hall), which covers fire protection system plan review for new construction or remodel work.
