Fire Alarm System Plan Review in Spanish Fork, Utah

Spanish Fork Fire & EMS Department charges its own in-house plan review fee for fire alarm systems, published in the city's annual Budget document under Fire & EMS Department Fees, separate from the automatic fire sprinkler protection system fee. Fees differ for a new system versus a remodel or the addition of floors to an existing system. This plan review fee is the complete published charge for fire alarm system permitting in Spanish Fork — no separate, distinctly labeled 'permit' fee line item exists anywhere in the city's fee structure.

Tips

  • Spanish Fork's fire alarm plan review fee is published only as an 'in-house plan review' fee — this is the complete, governing fee for fire alarm system permitting, per the FY 2027 Original Budget PDF (pages 94–95). Neither the Fire & EMS Department page (spanishfork.gov/departments/fire/index.php) nor the Building Department fees page (spanishfork.gov/departments/community_development/building/fees.php) lists a separate alarm-specific fee, and no distinctly labeled 'permit' fee line item exists anywhere in the city's published fee schedule beyond the plan review fee above.
  • A separate $26 'Fire Alarm Panel Inspection — submitted to 3rd party' fee also appears in the same Budget document; this is distinct from the in-house plan review fee and applies to alarm panel testing/inspection rather than new-system plan review — it is not an additional permit fee.

Spanish Fork, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) with Utah Amendments — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 (confirmed by direct fetch of the live statute 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IBC, which governed through 6/30/2026. NOTE (2026-07-16 city-page lag): Spanish Fork's own Design Criteria page (spanishfork.gov/departments/community_development/building/design_criteria.php), live-checked via browser 2026-07-16, still lists 'IBC 2021 Int'l Bldg Code w/UT Amendments' verbatim — the city's page has NOT been updated to reflect the 7/1/2026 statewide flip. The statute controls regardless of the city page's lag.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle. Matches Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page (live-checked 2026-07-16: 'IRC 2021 Int'l Residential Code').; Appendix AQ of the 2021 International Residential Code — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c) (confirmed by direct fetch of the live statute 2026-07-16; not independently listed on Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page).; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 (confirmed by direct statute fetch 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IPC, which governed through 6/30/2026. NOTE (2026-07-16 city-page lag): Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page still lists 'IPC 2021 Plumbing' — the statute controls.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 (confirmed by direct statute fetch 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IMC, which governed through 6/30/2026. NOTE (2026-07-16 city-page lag): Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page still lists 'IMC 2021 Mechanical' — the statute controls.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 (confirmed by direct statute fetch 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IFGC, which governed through 6/30/2026. NOTE (2026-07-16 city-page lag): Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page still lists 'IFGC 2021 Fuel Gas Code' — the statute controls.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle. Matches Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page (live-checked 2026-07-16: 'NEC 2023 Commercial Electrical').; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 (confirmed by direct statute fetch 2026-07-16). ONE statewide edition — no residential/commercial split. Supersedes the 2021 IECC, which governed through 6/30/2026. NOTE (2026-07-16 city-page lag): Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page still lists 'IECC 2021 Energy' — the statute controls.; 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) — local citation only, per Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page (live-checked 2026-07-16: 'IFC 2021 National Fire'). CORRECTION (2026-07-16): a prior version of this record cited Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c) for this entry — that is WRONG; §15A-2-103 does NOT adopt the IFC at all (its statute text has no IFC subsection; subsection (c) actually adopts Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC, listed separately above). The IFC edition is left unchanged here since §15A-2-103 provides no statewide IFC edition to supersede it.; ICC/ANSI A117.1-2009 (ADA/Accessibility) — Spanish Fork Design Criteria page (live-checked 2026-07-16, unchanged).; The statewide code flip effective 7/1/2026 has passed, but Spanish Fork's own Design Criteria page has not been updated — it still displays 2021 for IBC/IECC/IFC/IMC/IPC/IFGC verbatim (NEC correctly remains 2023). Because Utah is a statewide-mandatory-code state under Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (per Utah Code § 15A-1-204, binding the state and every political subdivision), the statute controls regardless of the city page's lag, so the entries above state the 2024 editions as current for IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC. IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) are correctly unchanged on both the statute and the (otherwise stale) city page.. Local amendments apply — see the Spanish Fork overview page for the full list.
