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 residential/commercial building permits, but no separate dollar fee for fire plan review or fire-marshal inspection is published anywhere on springvilleutah.gov or in the FY2025 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Exhibit B) — 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. 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, 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 (the $1,065.02 'Plan Check Fee' at line 410 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 states construction permits are issued upon Fire Marshal approval but publishes no dollar figure.

Fire Plan Review / Inspection Fee
Springville'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… Show full citationSpringville'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. 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. The newer FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (springvilleutah.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/09/FY-2026-Comprehensive-Fee-Schedule.pdf, published 2025-09, superseding the FY2025 edition) carries the same unrelated $25.00 Police-Department fee (renumbered line 101) as the only 'alarm' line item in the entire ~2,300-line schedule — no fire-marshal plan-review or permit fee appears there either, and no dedicated fire-fee PDF exists outside the Comprehensive Fee Schedule. Springville City Code Chapter 3-4 (Fire Code, hosted at codepublishing.com) contains no fire sprinkler/alarm/hood permit fee section; its only fee reference, for underground LPG storage tank permits, states the fee is 'to be set by the City Council from time to time' — confirming fees for fire-related permits are set by Council resolution (the Comprehensive Fee Schedule) rather than codified in the Fire Code itself. No City Council resolution or Utah Public Meeting Notice posting specifically setting a Fire Marshal plan-review fee has been adopted or published. The Fiscal 2026-2027 Comprehensive Fee Schedule in the Springville City FY 2026-2027 Interim Budget (published July 2026) likewise contains no fire-marshal plan-review, sprinkler, alarm or hood permit fee anywhere in the 289-page document; the only 'Alarm Permit Fee' remains the $25.00 line under Resolution No. 98-35, and that budget's own narrative section states outright: 'Police — the department proposes doubling the alarm permit fee from $25', which independently confirms that line belongs to the Police Department rather than to fire-system review. 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), but no Springville-published source confirms that mechanism specifically for fire-marshal review. No published dollar figure for Fire Marshal plan review or inspection exists; the fee appears to be assessed case-by-case by the Fire Marshal. Confirm directly with the Fire Marshal's office, (801) 491-5602.
No fire-marshal-specific dollar figure was found published on springvilleutah.gov or in any of the FY2025, FY 2026 or Fiscal 2026-2027 Comprehensive Fee Schedules.

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 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. The Springville City FY 2026-2027 Interim Budget settles this outright: its narrative reads 'Police — the department proposes doubling the alarm permit fee from $25.'
  • Both the FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (published 2025-09) and the city's Fire and Rescue page confirm the same result as the FY2025 schedule: 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 stated 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).; 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.; The 2021 editions of IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC were superseded at the 7/1/2026 statewide transition; the entries above state the 2024 editions as current, with the superseded 2021 editions preserved as historical context. The IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) editions were not affected by that transition. No Springville-specific city page (beyond the 2019-dated, stale Solar Permit Process document) independently states individual code editions for IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC.. 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.
