Fire Alarm System Permit in Gillette, Wyoming
Required for installation of a commercial/industrial fire alarm system in Gillette. Campbell County Fire Department (CCFD) lists "Fire Alarm System" as its own distinct plan-review category (separate from Fire Sprinkler System) and "fire alarm acceptance" as its own distinct construction-inspection type — but unlike fire sprinkler systems, Gillette's City Code Chapter 5, Article IV fee schedule has NO dedicated fire-alarm fee line item. This is a genuine, confirmed gap after a full read of the adopted fee schedule, not an omission in this entry.

When you need this permit
- Campbell County Fire Department's published Plan Review list separately names "Fire Alarm System" alongside "Fire Sprinkler System" as its own plan-review category, using Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office (WSFO) checklist forms for the submittal
- CCFD states that if a submittal is missing required information, the review cannot be completed and a resubmittal is required
- "Fire alarm acceptance" is listed as its own CCFD construction-inspection type, distinct from the sprinkler rough-in/hydro inspections
- CCFD inspection scheduling requires at least 48 hours advance notice (call (307) 682-5319)
- Fire alarm plans for new commercial construction are also routed to CCFD as part of the standard Commercial Tenant Improvement/Commercial Building Permit submittal (see that entry)
- City Code Chapter 5, Article III's contractor-license structure (Article III sections A-H) has no dedicated fire-alarm contractor license category — alarm/low-voltage work is typically performed under state-level licensure rather than a City of Gillette trade license; confirm current requirements with the Building Division at (307) 686-5260 Contractor

Fee schedule
Fire Alarm System Permit feeA full read of City Code Chapter 5, Article IV (§ 5-IV-1 through § 5-IV-3, the complete adopted fee schedule as of the 6-16-2026 revision) turned up a dedicated $30 line item for "Fire Sprinkler Systems" but NO corresponding line item for fire alarm systems. This is reported as a confirmed gap, not a fabricated or assumed fee — do not assume the $30 sprinkler fee also covers fire alarm systems. Confirm current fee treatment directly with the Building Division ((307) 686-5260) or CCFD ((307) 682-5319) before budgeting.

Tips
- Don't assume the $30 Fire Sprinkler Systems fee from City Code § 5-IV-1(b) also applies to a fire alarm system — the adopted fee schedule does not carry a matching line item for fire alarm, and this jurisdiction's data-integrity policy prohibits guessing a fee that isn't published. Call ahead to confirm what, if anything, will be charged.
- CCFD treats fire alarm and fire sprinkler as two separate plan-review and inspection tracks (separate WSFO checklists, separate 'fire alarm acceptance' vs. 'sprinkler rough-in/hydro' inspections) — don't combine the two scopes into one submittal expecting a single review.
