Fire Sprinkler & Fire Alarm System Permit in Unincorporated Campbell County, Wyoming

Fire sprinkler and fire alarm system installations in unincorporated Campbell County are NOT administered by the Building Division under Chapter 4's general Building/Electrical Permit fee structure — they are 'Fire Code Permits' under Chapter 4 Section 1.3.B, submitted directly to and issued by the Campbell County Fire Department, whose Fire Marshal's Office administers plan review and construction inspections under the adopted 2024 International Fire Code (Chapter 4 Section 8).

  • Plan review submittals must follow the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office (WSFMO) checklist for the applicable system: the Fire Sprinkler System Plan Review Checklist or the Fire Alarm System Plan Review Checklist
  • Incomplete submittals cannot be reviewed and will require a resubmittal
  • Construction inspections are scheduled directly with the Fire Department (307-682-5319) with a minimum of 48 hours advance notice
  • New commercial occupancies must have an approved Knox Box key box installed before occupancy/work approval is granted (IFC § 506.1 as locally amended, Chapter 4 § 8.A.5)

Fee schedule

Fire Code Permit / plan review — fire sprinkler and fire alarm systemsThe Campbell County Fire Department's public Fire Marshal page (ccfire.us/fire-marshal-1) lists Plan Review, Fire Inspection, and Fire Permits sections, none of which show a dollar fee for sprinkler/alarm plan review or construction permits; its separate 'Fire Permits' list (Hotwork, Open Burning, Fireworks, Hazmat, LP Gas, Open Flames, Pyrotechnic, Temporary Event Structures, Special Event) also does not include sprinkler/alarm. Chapter 4 Section 1.8.E's 'All Other Permits: No fees' governs Building Division permits; Fire Code Permits are expressly routed to and issued by the separate Fire Department (Chapter 4 § 1.3.B), so it is not verified whether that Building-Division fee waiver extends to Fire-Department-issued permits. Call Campbell County Fire Department at (307) 682-5319 for a current fee quote — this is a genuine published gap, not assumed to be free.

Tips

  • Fire sprinkler and fire alarm permits in unincorporated Campbell County go through the Campbell County Fire Department, NOT the county Building Division — do not submit these plans with your general Building Permit & Zoning Certificate Application.
  • Use the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office plan review checklists (linked from ccfire.us/fire-marshal-1) — a submittal that is incomplete against that checklist will be rejected without review rather than corrected in-process.
  • Schedule all sprinkler/alarm construction inspections (rough-in, hydro test, alarm acceptance) at least 48 hours ahead by calling the Fire Department at (307) 682-5319.
  • No fee schedule for fire sprinkler/alarm plan review or permits is published online — confirm current cost directly with the Fire Marshal's Office before budgeting a commercial project; don't assume the Building Division's residential no-fee policy (Chapter 4 § 1.8.E) automatically applies, since a different department issues these permits.
