Fire Sprinkler, Alarm, and Hood Plan Review Permit in Springville, Utah

Required for fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems, and hood extinguishing systems in Springville. Per the city's own Fire and Rescue 'Fire Sprinkler, Alarm and Hood Plan Inspections' page, the Springville City Fire Marshal — not the Building Division — reviews these plans directly, and 'Upon approval construction permits will be issued.' This is a genuinely distinct review track from the Building Division's My City Inspector process used for the residential/commercial building permits in this file, but no separate dollar fee for fire plan review or fire-marshal inspection was found published anywhere on springvilleutah.gov or in the FY2025 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Exhibit B) as of 2026-07-20 — that schedule's only fire-adjacent 'Alarm Permit Fee' ($25.00, line 103) is filed under 'Public Safety Fees' immediately after Dog License/Animal Shelter fees and billed under Resolution No. 98-35, which is the Police Department's burglar/security alarm registration permit, not a fire-marshal life-safety-system fee — it is NOT included here as it would misattribute an unrelated fee. Re-chased 2026-07-20: located and checked the newer FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (published 2025-09, springvilleutah.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/09/FY-2026-Comprehensive-Fee-Schedule.pdf), which supersedes the FY2025 edition — it shows the same unrelated $25.00 Police-Department 'Alarm Permit Fee' (renumbered line 101) and no fire-marshal-specific plan-review or permit fee anywhere in its ~2,300 line items, including its Building Fees and Public Works sections (checked a $1,065.02 'Plan Check Fee' at line 410, which is a Public Works/utility-extension plan-check fee tied to water meter and fire hydrant meter infrastructure, not fire-system life-safety plan review). The Fire and Rescue 'Fire Sprinkler, Alarm and Hood Plan Inspections' page was also re-fetched directly and is unchanged — it still states construction permits are issued upon Fire Marshal approval but publishes no dollar figure.

Fee schedule

Fire Plan Review / Inspection FeeSpringville's 'Fire Sprinkler, Alarm and Hood Plan Inspections' page (springvilleutah.gov/fire-rescue/inspections-permits/fire-inspection/fire-inspection-plans/) states plans are reviewed by the Fire Marshal and permits issued upon approval, but publishes no fee amount; re-fetched directly 2026-07-20 and unchanged. The FY2025 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Exhibit B, Public Safety Fees, line 103) lists only an unrelated 'Alarm Permit Fee — $25.00' under Resolution No. 98-35, which context (adjacent Dog License and False Alarm Response line items) identifies as the Police Department's burglar/security-alarm registration fee, not a fire-system plan-review fee — omitted here rather than misattributed. Re-chased 2026-07-20: located the newer FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (springvilleutah.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/09/FY-2026-Comprehensive-Fee-Schedule.pdf, published 2025-09, supersedes the FY2025 edition) and confirmed the same unrelated $25.00 Police-Department fee (renumbered line 101) is the only 'alarm' line item in the entire ~2,300-line schedule — no fire-marshal plan-review or permit fee exists there either. It is possible fire-system review costs are absorbed into the general Building Permit Fee / Plan Check Fee ('Assessed by Plans Examiner,' per the residential/commercial permit entries in this file), but no Springville-published source confirms that mechanism specifically for fire-marshal review; confirm directly with the Fire Marshal's office, (801) 491-5602. THIRD re-chase pass 2026-07-20: (1) ran a full Wayback CDX sweep of the entire springvilleutah.gov domain (2,377 archived URLs) filtered for fire/fee/sprinkler/marshal terms -- turned up nothing beyond an unrelated Art City Days 'Grand Marshal' page; no dedicated fire-fee PDF exists outside the Comprehensive Fee Schedule already checked. (2) Located and read Springville City Code Chapter 3-4 (Fire Code) directly (codepublishing.com blocks direct fetch with 403; retrieved via Wayback archive snapshot instead) -- it contains no fire sprinkler/alarm/hood permit fee section. The only fee reference in the entire chapter is for underground LPG storage tank permits, which states the fee is 'to be set by the City Council from time to time' -- i.e., confirms fees for fire-related permits are set by Council resolution (the Comprehensive Fee Schedule) rather than codified in the Fire Code itself, and that schedule (already checked twice, FY2025 and FY2026, ~2,300 line items) has no fire-marshal plan-review or sprinkler/alarm/hood line item. (3) Checked Springville City Council agenda/minutes archive and Utah PMN postings for any resolution specifically setting a Fire Marshal plan-review fee -- none found. This is a fourth independent negative confirmation (live Fire and Rescue page, FY2025 schedule, FY2026 schedule, Fire Code chapter itself) that no such fee is published anywhere by the city. Genuinely appears to be assessed case-by-case by the Fire Marshal rather than posted. Do not re-chase without a direct answer from the Fire Marshal's office or a newly adopted fee resolution.
No fire-marshal-specific dollar figure was found published on springvilleutah.gov or in either the FY2025 or the newer FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule.

Tips

  • Fire sprinkler, alarm, and hood system plans in Springville go to the Fire Marshal directly (by email), not through the My City Inspector portal used for the building permit itself — budget for two separate submittal tracks on projects that need both.
  • As of 2026-07-20, Scott Nagle is Springville's Fire Marshal: (801) 491-5602 office, (435) 655-5071 cell.
  • No inspections are conducted on Mondays because of a required 24-hour battery test cycle, and Friday inspections are by request only — plan scheduling accordingly and request an inspection at least two business days ahead.
  • Do not confuse the FY2025/FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule's $25.00 'Alarm Permit Fee' with a fire alarm system permit — that line item sits in the 'Public Safety Fees' section next to Dog License and False Alarm Response fees and is the Police Department's burglar/security-alarm registration fee, unrelated to Fire Marshal life-safety plan review.
  • Re-chased 2026-07-20 against the newer FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (published 2025-09) and the live Fire and Rescue page directly — both confirm the same result as the FY2025 pass: no fire-marshal-specific plan-review or permit fee is published anywhere by the city. This fee genuinely appears to be assessed case-by-case rather than posted, unlike Springville's other published fee tables.

Springville, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Springville City Code § 10-1-101 adopts 'the International Building Code and the International Residential Code, as published by the International Code Council and adopted by the State of Utah, including all State statutes, amendments and regulations' as the City Building Code; the statewide edition CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 is the 2024 IBC per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a) (confirmed by direct fetch of the live statute 2026-07-16). The 2021 IBC governed through 6/30/2026. Springville § 10-1-101 last amended by Ordinance 16-2025 (effective 7/15/2025).; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — per Springville City Code § 10-1-101 (defers to state-adopted edition) and confirmed directly on Springville's own Residential Building Permit Checklist (July 2023) and Basement Improvement Permit Checklist (July 2023): 'Building shall be designed to the 2021 IRC (International Residential Code)' [and, for basements, 'and State Amendments']. UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) — confirmed by direct statute fetch 2026-07-16.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC), International Mechanical Code (IMC), International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), and International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d)/(e)/(f)/(h)/(i) respectively, incorporated by reference via Springville City Code § 10-1-101's adoption of state-amended construction codes (confirmed by direct fetch of the live statute 2026-07-16). The 2021 editions of these five codes governed through 6/30/2026. The IECC is a single statewide edition — the statute contains no residential/commercial split. No Springville-specific edition citation for these individual codes was found beyond the statewide statute and Chapter 10-7 (Building and Construction Standards and Codes) cross-reference. The International Fire Code (IFC) is not adopted anywhere in Utah Code § 15A-2-103 and no Springville-specific IFC citation was found either.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g), the statewide-mandated edition that supersedes any locally-referenced older edition; UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle. NOTE: Springville's own 'Solar Permit Process' document (springvilleutah.gov, dated 2019) states 'System shall be designed to the 2015 IRC and 2017 NEC' — this document remains STALE relative to the current statewide statute; the 2023 NEC and 2021 IRC (both continuing unchanged past 7/1/2026) govern, per Utah Code § 15A-2-103, which supersedes outdated city documents.; NOTE (2026-07-16 corpus-staleness fix): This file previously stated the 2021 editions of IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC as current with only a forward-looking mention of the 7/1/2026 flip; the effective date has now passed and the entries above have been corrected to state the 2024 editions as current, with the superseded 2021 editions preserved as historical context. IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) were NOT changed. No Springville-specific city page (beyond the 2019-dated, already-flagged-stale Solar Permit Process document) independently states individual code editions for IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC, so no additional city-page lag was found to record for those codes.. Local amendments apply — see the Springville overview page for the full list.

The Springville City Fire Marshal reviews all plans for fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems, and hood extinguishing systems directly — not the Building Division. Construction permits are issued upon the Fire Marshal's approval, per Springville Fire and Rescue's official Fire Sprinkler, Alarm and Hood Plan Inspections page.
