Fire Sprinkler System Permit in Lindon, Utah

Required for installation of an automatic fire sprinkler (fire protection) system for new construction or a tenant improvement in Lindon. Lindon City does not employ its own fire-prevention plan reviewers or publish its own sprinkler-system fee table: since 2008, Lindon has contracted Fire/EMS response to Orem City, and Lindon has separately 'partnered with Orem City Fire Prevention and Inspection to perform inspections on new construction and business license inspections' (Lindon's official Fire/EMS page). Orem's Fire Prevention Division serves Orem, Lindon, and Vineyard for plan review, permits, and inspections. Lindon's own 2025-2026 Fee Schedule reflects this directly: its 'Plan Review Fee' section lists a distinct 'Fire Sprinkler and/or Fire Alarm Plan Review' line item priced 'As per Orem City Fee Schedule' — a genuinely governing, city-published cross-reference rather than an invented figure. Orem's own currently-adopted FY 2025-2026 Adopted Budget Fee Schedule (Exhibit B) prices Sprinkler System Inspections (office plan check, hydro test, flush, and final inspection) by project square footage; this is the figure Lindon's own schedule points to.

Tips

  • Lindon has no fire-sprinkler plan-review staff or fee schedule of its own — plans go directly to the Orem City Fire Prevention Division (fireprevention@orem.gov), which serves Orem, Lindon, and Vineyard, per Orem's official Fire Prevention & Inspections page.
  • Projects with 20 or more sprinkler heads require third-party code compliance review in addition to Orem Fire Prevention's own plan review, per Orem's Contractor's Corner guidance.
  • Schedule sprinkler inspections through Orem's online inspections system (orem.gov/inspections-and-permits/); the sprinkler final is performed jointly with the fire alarm final, so both contractors should be present.
  • Lindon's own Building Permit Fee (1997 UBC Table 1-A valuation) explicitly excludes fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems from the valuation — those systems are priced separately through this Fire Sprinkler and/or Fire Alarm Plan Review line item instead.
