Fire Alarm System Permit / Plan Review in Alpine, Utah

Alpine City's Building Department does not review or permit fire alarm systems itself, and Alpine's Consolidated Fee Schedule (effective 11/11/2025, full text reviewed 2026-07-21) contains no 'fire alarm' fee line item at all. Per Alpine's official Public Safety page, fire code enforcement for Alpine is provided by Lone Peak Fire District (serving Alpine, Highland, and Cedar Hills), the local fire authority responsible for enforcing the state fire code in Alpine under Utah Code § 53-7-104(2). A direct check of Lone Peak Fire District's own website (lonepeakfire.com, re-checked 2026-07-21) found no published fire alarm permit application, fee schedule, or plan-review guidance of any kind. The Utah State Fire Marshal's Office separately publishes a statewide Fire Alarm Plan Review Submittal Form with its own published fee ($75 minimum, or $0.022 per square foot of review scope, whichever is greater) — cited here as the best available grounded fee reference in the absence of any Lone Peak-published figure — but the State Fire Marshal's own enforcement jurisdiction under Utah Code § 53-7-104(3) is limited to areas outside corporate cities/fire districts, state/school property, and certain institutional occupancies (or by request of the local fire official), so it is not certain this state-level fee is what Lone Peak Fire District actually charges for an ordinary commercial fire alarm system in Alpine. Applicants should confirm directly with Lone Peak Fire District (801-763-5365) which review path and fee apply to a specific project.

Tips

  • Lone Peak Fire District, not Alpine City's own Building Department, is the fire authority for Alpine per Alpine's official Public Safety page — confirm fire alarm plan review and fees directly with Lone Peak Fire District (5582 Parkway West Drive, Highland, UT 84003; 801-763-5365) before assuming a specific fee applies.
  • The Utah State Fire Marshal's submittal checklist requires extensive documentation (voltage drop calculations, battery calculations, device locations, cut sheets, etc.) — assemble this package before submitting, regardless of which fire authority ultimately reviews the plans.
  • This fire alarm review is separate from, and in addition to, Alpine's own Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit process for the same project.

Alpine, Utah has adopted: 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT, Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment; per Alpine City's official Building Permit Instructions (New Home Form #2, revised 4/9/2025): 'Structural design criteria must conform to the 2021 IRC.'; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); supersedes the 2021 edition Alpine City's official Building Permit Instructions (New Home Form #2, revised 4/9/2025) still cited as of live-check 2026-07-16: 'I understand that it is my responsibility to comply with Alpine City Zoning Ordinances and the I.B.C. 2021 code (including Appendix C and J) as adopted by Alpine City.'; 2021 IRC Appendix AL (Building Permit Fees) as amended by Alpine City — Alpine's Consolidated Fee Schedule (effective November 11, 2025), Appendix B, is expressly titled 'Building Permit Fees (2021 IRC Appendix AL, as amended)' and cites https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IRC2021P2/appendix-al-permit-fees. This is a local fee-table appendix reference, not the § 15A-2-103 construction-code edition, and is unaffected by the 7/1/2026 code-cycle update.; Utah statewide baseline construction code editions per Utah Code § 15A-2-103, effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027): 2024 IPC (§(1)(d)), 2024 IMC (§(1)(e)), 2024 IFGC (§(1)(f)), 2024 IECC as a single unsplit statewide edition (§(1)(h)), 2024 IEBC (§(1)(i)), and the residential provisions of the 2024 ISPSC (§(1)(n)) — none separately itemized in Alpine's own published materials (Consolidated Fee Schedule, Building Permit Instructions, Building Department page); added here per statute since Alpine's own documents omit them. The 2023 NEC (§(1)(g)) also applies statewide but is likewise not separately restated by Alpine — unchanged by 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. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did NOT change. Alpine City's official Building Permit Instructions (New Home Form #2) — the sole cited source for Alpine's code editions — was live-checked 2026-07-16 by re-fetching the PDF directly and remains dated 'Revised 4/9/2025' with no update: it still states 'Structural design criteria must conform to the 2021 IRC' (correct, unchanged) and 'the I.B.C. 2021 code (including Appendix C and J) as adopted by Alpine City' (STALE — Alpine has not published an updated form reflecting the 2024 IBC as of this date). No newer Alpine-specific building-code publication was found on alpineut.gov. The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 citation added to the sources array below points to the current in-force version link.. Local amendments apply — see the Alpine overview page for the full list.

The Utah State Fire Marshal's Office publishes a statewide fee of $75 minimum, or $0.022 per square foot of the reviewed scope of work if greater, on its Fire Alarm Plan Review Submittal Form. Whether this specific fee applies to a given Alpine project depends on which fire authority conducts the review — confirm with Lone Peak Fire District directly.
