Automatic Fire Protection (Fire Sprinkler) System Permit in Cedar Hills, Utah

Required in Cedar Hills for installation of an automatic fire sprinkler system, plan-reviewed in-house by the City (not delegated to a third-party reviewer) under the Public Safety section of the City's own Fee Schedule (effective 07/01/2026), Resolution 07-16-2019A. These are the same 'Automatic Fire Protection System / In House Plan Review' fees already itemized within this record's commercial-building-permit entry; this entry consolidates them as their own permit type, matching the convention used for this permit category in peer Utah County jurisdictions (e.g. American Fork's fire-sprinkler-permit). Fees are priced by sprinkler head count, plus separate acceptance-testing fees; there is no distinct fee schedule from a separate joint fire authority — Cedar Hills' own Public Safety fee table is the governing source.

Tips

  • Sprinkler plan review fees are priced by head count (number of sprinkler heads), not a flat fee — confirm the head count before budgeting for plan review.
  • These are the same fees already itemized within this record's Commercial Building Permit entry's fee list — a sprinkler system is filed and reviewed as part of that Building Permit, not as a separate standalone application.
  • A separate $100.00 'Fire Department Administrative Fee' (Resolution 07-16-2019A) also appears in the City's Public Safety fee table, but its scope is not itemized to a specific permit type on the fee schedule — confirm with the Building Department whether it applies to a routine sprinkler plan review before assuming it does.

Cedar Hills, 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 Cedar Hills' official Building Permit Requirements form (revised 06/12/2025, live re-checked 2026-07-16): 'Current codes are 2021 IRC, 2021 IBC, 2021 IMC, 2021 IPC, 2020 NEC, 2018 IECC Commercial, 2018 IECC Residential, and 2021 IFGC and Utah State Amendments Title 15A.'; 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 Cedar Hills' Building Permit Requirements form still listed as of live re-check 2026-07-16.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); supersedes the 2021 edition Cedar Hills' Building Permit Requirements form still listed as of live re-check 2026-07-16.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); supersedes the 2021 edition Cedar Hills' Building Permit Requirements form still listed as of live re-check 2026-07-16.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g), unchanged by the 7/1/2026 amendment — Cedar Hills' own Building Permit Requirements form lists '2020 NEC,' which was ALREADY STALE before this code-cycle transition (the statewide-governing NEC edition has been 2023 since an earlier version of the statute). This is a pre-existing discrepancy in the city's own form, independent of the 7/1/2026 IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC bump; reported as-published rather than corrected, per grounded-data policy.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); supersedes BOTH split editions ('2018 IECC Commercial, 2018 IECC Residential') Cedar Hills' Building Permit Requirements form still listed as of live re-check 2026-07-16 — those 2018 figures were already stale before the 7/1/2026 transition (the prior statewide edition was 2021), compounding with the new 2024 bump.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); supersedes the 2021 edition Cedar Hills' Building Permit Requirements form still listed as of live re-check 2026-07-16.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) and residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i)/(n); not itemized on Cedar Hills' Building Permit Requirements form at all, added here per statute since the City's own form omits them.; Utah State Amendments, Utah Code Title 15A — per the same official Building Permit Requirements form.; 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. Cedar Hills' Building Permit Requirements form (5il.co/26de1, redirecting to a Cedar Hills-hosted PDF) was live re-fetched 2026-07-16 and remains marked 'Revised 6/12/2025' with NO update: it still lists 2021 IBC/IMC/IPC/IFGC, 2020 NEC, and split 2018 IECC. The NEC (2020, should be 2023) and IECC (2018, should now be a single 2024 edition) entries were already stale under the PRE-7/1/2026 version of the statute — this form has not tracked Utah's construction-code cycle for multiple revisions. No newer Cedar Hills-specific code-adoption publication was found. The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 citation has been added to the sources array below, pointing to the current in-force version link.. Local amendments apply — see the Cedar Hills overview page for the full list.
