Fire Alarm System Permit / Plan Review in Highland, Utah

Highland City does not publish a distinct fire alarm permit fee — a full-text review of the FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (22 pages, adopted 5/5/26) found no 'fire alarm' fee line item; a fire alarm system is filed and reviewed as part of the underlying Building Permit Application, billed at the same ICC valuation-based Permit Fee/Plan Check Fee used for the rest of the project. Fire code enforcement for Highland is provided by Lone Peak Fire District (part of the Lone Peak Public Safety District, also serving Alpine), per Highland's own official Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Services page: 'Highland City contracts with the Lone Peak Fire District to provide fire protection and EMS services to the residents of Highland.' A direct check of Lone Peak Fire District's own website (lonepeakfire.com, 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, confirmed by direct read of the form 2026-07-21) — 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 fire alarm system in Highland. 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 Highland City's own Building Division, is the fire authority for Highland — per Highland's official Fire, Rescue, and EMS page, 'Highland City contracts with the Lone Peak Fire District to provide fire protection and EMS services.' 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, Highland's own Residential, Commercial, or Commercial Tenant Improvement Building Permit process for the same project.
