Automatic Fire Sprinkler Permit

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 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.

$109.00

$38.00

Automatic Fire Sprinkler Permit

Listed separately from sprinkler systems but same fee amount and process — noted here since kitchen hood/duct suppression is a closely related fire-suppression permit type covered by the same fee-schedule section.

$109.00

Fire Alarm System Permit

Fire Alarm System — New Installation (plan review, visual inspection, and one test) · Saratoga Springs Consolidated Fee Schedule (updated October 2024), Section 5 'New Installations or New Business,' 'Fire Alarm System' (page 23): '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.' The schedule's 'Inspection of Existing Occupancies, Systems, and Permits' section (pages 25-26) carries a separate existing-system Fire Alarm System table reading '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.
