Fire Sprinkler System Permit in Heber City, Utah

Heber City does not publish a distinct fire sprinkler system permit or fee line item — a direct text search of the current Consolidated Fee Schedule for 'fire,' 'sprinkler,' and 'alarm' on 2026-07-21 returned only an unrelated Police Section 'Third False Alarm' ($50.00) fee, no Building-fee sprinkler line item. Sprinkler plans (for new construction or tenant improvement) are submitted as part of the same Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit plan set filed with Heber City — those permit types' own code-analysis-summary requirement explicitly calls for disclosing 'sprinkler status.' Fire protection and fire-code plan review for Heber City is provided by Wasatch Fire District (WFD), a separate agency, whose own Exhibit 'A' District Fee Schedule (Resolution 22-04) bills sprinkler review through its general valuation-based 'Inspection and Plan Review' fee (Commercial: valuation x 0.00075) or its flat $225.00 'Non-Structural Fire & Life Safety/Project Clearance Plan Review' fee, rather than a standalone sprinkler-specific charge.

Fee schedule

WFD Inspection and Plan Review — CommercialWasatch Fire District Exhibit 'A' District Fee Schedule (Resolution 22-04), 'Inspection and Plan Review Fees' table: 'Inspection and Plan Review – Commercial: Valuation x 0.00075.' Read directly from the fee schedule PDF (cdn.sqhk.co/wasatchfd/SNhghjJ/Resolution22-04ExhibitAFeeSchedule) on 2026-07-21. No separate fire-sprinkler-specific line item exists in either the Heber City or WFD fee schedules; this valuation-based fee is the governing charge covering fire-code plan review, including sprinkler system plans, as part of the broader commercial plan set.
Valuation x 0.00075
WFD Inspection and Plan Review — Residential (in WUI)Same WFD Exhibit 'A' Fee Schedule; applies to residential fire-sprinkler-bearing projects located within the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI).
Valuation x 0.00075
WFD Inspection and Plan Review — Residential (non-WUI)Same WFD Exhibit 'A' Fee Schedule; applies to residential projects outside the WUI — a lower rate than the Commercial/WUI-Residential tier.
Valuation x 0.0003
WFD Non-Structural Fire & Life Safety / Project Clearance Plan ReviewSame WFD Exhibit 'A' Fee Schedule, 'Inspection and Plan Review Fees' table: 'Non-Structural Fire & Life Safety/Project Clearance Plan Reviews: $225.' Most likely the applicable WFD fee for a standalone sprinkler retrofit not tied to new construction or a valuation-based building permit, though WFD's fee schedule does not explicitly name sprinkler systems under this line item — reported as the closest-fitting published category rather than asserted as certain.
$225.00 flat
Heber City Building Permit Fee (if bundled with new construction/TI)Applies on the Heber City side when the sprinkler system is installed as part of new commercial construction or a tenant improvement project, per the Consolidated Fee Schedule § 4 Building; the sprinkler work itself carries no separate city-side fee line item.
Valuation-based per the ICC Building Safety Journal fee tables, updated biannually

    Wasatch Fire District Sprinkler Rough-In / Final Inspection

Tips

  • Heber City has no standalone fire sprinkler permit or fee — sprinkler plans travel inside the same Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit plan set, and the fire-code review portion is billed through Wasatch Fire District's own valuation-based 'Inspection and Plan Review' fee (Commercial: valuation x 0.00075) rather than a separate city line item.
  • If a sprinkler system is installed as a standalone retrofit (not tied to new construction), WFD's flat $225.00 'Non-Structural Fire & Life Safety/Project Clearance Plan Review' fee most likely applies, though WFD's own fee schedule does not explicitly name sprinkler systems under that line item — confirm directly with WFD, (435) 940-9636.
  • Fire protection for Heber City is provided by Wasatch Fire District, a separate agency from the Heber City Building Department — budget contact time with both agencies for a sprinkler project.
