Fire Sprinkler System Permit / Plan Review in Highland, Utah

Highland City does not publish a distinct fire sprinkler permit fee — a full-text review of the FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (22 pages, adopted 5/5/26) found no 'sprinkler' or 'fire protection system' fee line item; a sprinkler 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. Highland's own local amendment (effective December 3, 2024, per the Building Division page) requires automatic fire sprinklers 'in all conditions allowed by state fire code, including for residences over 10,000 square feet' — broader than a purely commercial trigger — but this is enforced through the general Building Permit process, not a separate sprinkler permit. 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 sprinkler permit application, fee schedule, or plan-review guidance of any kind. The Utah State Fire Marshal's Office separately publishes a statewide Automatic Fire Sprinkler Plan 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 sprinkler 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 sprinkler 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.
  • Highland's own local fire-sprinkler ordinance (effective 12/3/2024) is broader than many peer cities' — sprinklers are required 'in all conditions allowed by state fire code,' explicitly including single-family residences over 10,000 square feet, not just commercial buildings.
  • A water supply analysis (static pressure, residual pressure, flow) is a mandatory submittal component under Utah Admin. Code R710-4-5 — obtain this from the water purveyor, a flow test, or contract specifications before submitting sprinkler plans.
  • This fire sprinkler review is separate from, and in addition to, Highland's own Residential, Commercial, or Commercial Tenant Improvement Building Permit process for the same project.
