Fee schedule

Automatic Fire Sprinkler — New Installation (plan review, visual inspection, and one test)
Saratoga Springs Consolidated Fee Schedule (updated October 2024), Section 5 'New Installations or New Business,' 'Automatic Fire Sprinkler': 'Inspection of plan(s), one visual inspection and one… Show full citationSaratoga Springs Consolidated Fee Schedule (updated October 2024), Section 5 'New Installations or New Business,' 'Automatic Fire Sprinkler': 'Inspection of plan(s), one visual inspection and one test for sprinkler or suppression system from 100 up to 10,000 square feet in area — $109.00.' No over-10,000-sq-ft rate is published for new installations in this section (a $0.02/sq ft over-10,000 rate is published separately for inspections of EXISTING sprinkler systems, not new installs). The table on page 22 reads exactly 'Inspection of plan(s), one visual inspection and one test for sprinkler or suppression system from 100 up to 10,000 square feet in area — $109.00' / 'Re-inspection — $38.00,' with no additional new-installation over-10,000-sq-ft tier anywhere in the 'New Installations or New Business' section (pages 21-23) — that tier is genuinely absent from the published schedule, not an omission.

Tips

  • The Fire Department's sprinkler/suppression 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.
  • Kitchen hood-and-duct fire suppression systems are billed under a separate 'Automatic Fire Suppression' line at the same $109.00 rate, and standpipe/basement pipe inlet systems are billed the same way — all fall under the same Consolidated Fee Schedule section.
  • No distinct fire-sprinkler-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; 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 NFPA Code for Installation of Sprinkler Systems (NFPA 13), along with the 2024 International Fire Code, as the city's Fire Code.
