Tips

  • This permit is issued by Weber Fire District, NOT the Weber County Building Inspection Department — a separate special service district with its own Fee Schedule and plan-review process.
  • Weber Fire District's coverage area includes ALL unincorporated areas of Weber County, plus the cities of Farr West, Hooper, Huntsville, Marriott-Slaterville, Ogden Valley City, West Haven, and Uintah — confirm your parcel is within the district boundary if near a city that runs its own fire department.
  • Fee is tiered by sprinkler head count, not square footage — get an accurate head count from your contractor before budgeting.
  • When work starts before a permit is issued, the permit fee is doubled.
  • Complex projects may require third-party plan review at the applicant's expense, in addition to the district's own review fee.
