Fire Sprinkler System Permit in West Haven, Utah

Tips

  • West Haven contracts with Weber Fire District (WFD) for fire protection — fire sprinkler plan review and permitting go through WFD's Fire Marshal's Office (prevention@weberfiredistrict.gov, 801-782-3580), not the City Building Department.
  • West Haven's own Building Department page confirms a letter from Weber Fire District showing the Fire District impact fee has been paid is required before the City will issue a building permit — budget time for this step.
  • Fee amounts scale by sprinkler head count, not project valuation — a small residential system (1-20 heads) totals $132.50 for plan review + permit ($50 + $82.50), while a 501+ head commercial system totals $1,060 ($400 + $660).
