Re-chased 2026-07-20: re-fetched the live PDF and independently re-rendered page 23 to a 200dpi PNG — table reads exactly 'Inspection of plan(s), one visual inspection and one test for a fire alarm system from 100 to 10,000 square feet — $109.00' / 'Re-inspection — $38.00.' Also independently re-rendered pages 25-26 ('Inspection of Existing Occupancies, Systems, and Permits') and confirmed the existing-system Fire Alarm System table reads 'Inspection of plan(s), one visual inspection up to 10,000 square feet — $0.00' / 'Over 10,000 square feet in area — Total square feet x $0.02 plus basic fire inspection fee,' matching this entry's tip distinguishing new-installation vs. existing-system fees.

Tips
- The Fire Department's fire alarm fee ($109.00 for plan review, one visual inspection, and one test) is separate from any Building Department valuation-based permit fee for the same construction project.
- This new-installation fee differs from the fee for inspecting an EXISTING fire alarm system (a separate Consolidated Fee Schedule section lists that at $0.00 up to 10,000 sq ft, with an over-10,000-sq-ft rate plus a basic fire inspection fee) — the $109.00 figure applies specifically to new installations.
- No distinct fire-alarm-specific application form or document checklist (separate from the fee schedule) was found published on the city's site as of this check — contact the Building Department or Fire Marshal's office (Station #262, 801-766-6505) to confirm current submittal requirements.

Saratoga Springs, Utah has adopted: GOVERNING LAW: Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (le.utah.gov/xcode/Title15A/Chapter2/15A-2-S103.html), version effective 7/1/2026 (amended by Ch. 47, 2026 General Session), sets the statewide-mandatory construction code suite (Utah Code § 15A-1-204 — binds every municipality; local amendments permitted, a different edition is not). Saratoga Springs' 'Current Versions of the Codes Utilized for Inspections' list (saratogasprings-ut.gov/201/Building) still displays the pre-7/1/2026 edition list for every code except NEC; re-checked live 2026-07-16, page text is byte-identical to the earlier fetch. State law governs regardless of the page's lag; each line below states current law first, then the page's as-published (stale) text.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), with Utah state amendments — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective 7/1/2026. Saratoga Springs' Building Department page still lists '2021 Edition of the International Building Code (IBC)' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), with Utah state amendments, plus Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c); this edition did NOT change in the 7/1/2026 flip. Matches Saratoga Springs' Building Department page, which lists '2021 Edition of the International Residential Code (IRC)' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC), with Utah state amendments — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective 7/1/2026. Saratoga Springs' page still lists '2021 Edition of the International Plumbing Code (IPC)' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC), with Utah state amendments — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), effective 7/1/2026. Saratoga Springs' page still lists '2021 Edition of the International Mechanical Code (IMC)' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), with Utah state amendments — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), effective 7/1/2026. Saratoga Springs' page still lists '2021 Edition of the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC)' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), one statewide edition (no residential/commercial split), with Utah state amendments — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), effective 7/1/2026. Saratoga Springs' Building Department page still lists '2021 Edition of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)' (live re-check 2026-07-16). SEPARATELY, and unrelated to the 2026 flip: the city's Additional Building Permit Requirements page (saratogasprings-ut.gov/221) specifies energy compliance via '2015 Utah REScheck' for residential and ComCheck for commercial — this REScheck vintage reference is a PRE-EXISTING stale citation (predates the 2026 flip) relative to even the prior 2021 IECC citation on the Building Department page; both are reproduced here as independently published by the city, not corrected.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), effective 7/1/2026. Not mentioned on Saratoga Springs' Building Department page, Obtaining a Building Permit page, or Consolidated Fee Schedule as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added here as a statute-sourced omission (applies statewide regardless of city publication), not fabricated.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n), effective 7/1/2026. Not mentioned on any Saratoga Springs source reviewed as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added as a statute-sourced omission.; Modular Building Institute (MBI) Standards 1200 and 1205 — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o), statewide-mandated for modular units. Not mentioned on any Saratoga Springs source reviewed as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added as a statute-sourced omission.; 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) — per Saratoga Springs Building Department page (live re-check 2026-07-16, unchanged). NOTE: Utah Code § 15A-2-103 does NOT adopt the IFC — the IFC is separately governed under Title 15A Chapter 5, outside the scope of this section. Saratoga Springs' own listing of an IFC edition alongside its § 15A-2-103 code list is therefore not itself governed by § 15A-2-103; reproduced here as the city's own published statement, not corrected or reclassified.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per Saratoga Springs Building Department page, consistent with Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) statewide adoption; this edition did NOT change in the 7/1/2026 flip and Saratoga Springs' page already correctly reflects it (live re-check 2026-07-16) — no correction needed here.; Utah Code Title 15A (State Construction and Fire Codes Act) governs statewide code adoption; as an incorporated Utah city, Saratoga Springs administers its own Building Department as a compliance agency under Utah Code § 15A-1-202.. Local amendments apply — see the Saratoga Springs overview page for the full list.
Saratoga Springs Municipal Code § 18.01.02 adopts the 2022 edition of the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72), along with the 2024 International Fire Code, as the city's Fire Code.
