Tips

  • Fire alarm permitting in Farr West runs through Weber Fire District, NOT the Farr West City Building Department.
  • Fire alarm fees scale by protected square footage rather than by device count — unlike WFD's fire sprinkler fee table, which scales by sprinkler head count.
  • A separate $65.00 routine inspection fee applies to Fire Alarm System inspections outside the initial installation permit process, per WFD's Inspections fee table.
