Fire Sprinkler System Permit in Ivins, Utah

Fire protection is provided to Ivins by Santa Clara-Ivins Fire Rescue (SCIFR), a joint agency formed in 2018 through the merger of the Santa Clara and Ivins City fire departments, serving a combined ~500 square miles including both cities. The City of Santa Clara's Resolution No. 2024-01R adopted a 'Fire Prevention Fee Schedule' for SCIFR that publishes a distinct, itemized fire sprinkler system plan review, acceptance testing, and inspection fee structure, separate from Ivins City's own Building Department Consolidated Fee Schedule (which has no fire sprinkler line item).

Tips

  • Fire sprinkler permitting in Ivins runs through Santa Clara-Ivins Fire Rescue (SCIFR), a joint fire agency formed by the merger of the Santa Clara and Ivins fire departments in 2018 — not the Ivins City Building Department, whose own Consolidated Fee Schedule has no fire sprinkler line item.
  • New-system plan review is billed hourly ($126/hour) rather than as a flat fee, regardless of the sprinkler head-count tier — budget for an open-ended cost depending on plan complexity.
  • Remodel/tenant-finish sprinkler work has its own lower flat-fee track ($65 for under 5 heads, $126 flat for 5-50 heads) distinct from the hourly new-system rate.
  • An expedited sprinkler plan review option exists at a much higher hourly rate ($252-$314/hour depending on the schedule row) for projects that can't wait for standard-track review.

The 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC were unaffected and remain in force. Because Ivins Ordinance No. 2025-08 adopts the state code by reference rather than restating specific editions, Ivins is not expected to have a separate city-document lag of the kind seen in some sibling cities — this was not independently re-verified against the amlegal-hosted Ivins Code text this session (that site's full ordinance text is not renderable via automated fetch, per the localAmendments entry above).. Local amendments apply — see the Ivins overview page for the full list.
