Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm System Permit in Lander, Wyoming

Installation, addition, or alteration of a fire alarm, fire sprinkler, or fire suppression system in Lander is not a City of Lander permit product at all — it is processed directly through the Wyoming Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety (State Fire Marshal), which requires a Plan Review and a 'Permit to Construct' for this work 'regardless of size or valuation,' per the Department's own published Plan Review Information page. Resolution 1359 (the City's Fee Schedule 2025-26) has no fire-alarm/sprinkler/suppression line item, and the City's own Application for Building Permit has no checkbox covering this scope, which is consistent with the work being state-administered rather than City-billed.

When you need this permit

  • Installation, addition, or alteration of any fire alarm, fire sprinkler, or fire suppression system requires a Wyoming Department of Fire Prevention & Electrical Safety Plan Review and Permit to Construct, regardless of size or valuation, per the Department's Plan Review Information page and W.S. 35-9-108(s)
  • Plans for fire alarm systems and fire sprinkler systems must be submitted as successive-phase plans after any initial (e.g., new-construction shell) plans for the same project are approved, per W.S. 35-9-108(s)
  • Plans for fire protection systems and for fire detection/alarm systems designed by a NICET III-or-greater professional must be prepared under the direct supervision of a design professional registered to practice engineering in Wyoming; evidence of manufacturer verification is required if the system is manufactured/pre-engineered, per Dept. of Fire Prevention & Electrical Safety Rules, Chapter 2, Section 1(c)(ii)
  • No City of Lander Application for Building Permit checkbox exists for a standalone fire alarm/sprinkler/suppression permit — Construction Type, Accessory Structure, Sign, Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical, and Public R.O.W. are the only categories on the City's own form, confirming this is not a City-fee'd product
  • For NEW commercial construction where a fire protection system is part of the building shell, 'details of required fire protection systems' and fire-resistive construction data are instead submitted as part of the standard City of Lander commercial building-permit packet (see this file's residential-commercial-building-permit entry); a standalone State Fire Marshal Plan Review applies to adding or altering a fire protection system independent of, or subsequent to, that base construction project

Fee schedule

Plan Review Fee — minimum bracket (valuation $1-$500)Wyoming Dept. of Fire Prevention & Electrical Safety Rules, Chapter 2, Section 3 — a valuation-based sliding-scale table set under W.S. 35-9-108(d), based on the 1997 Uniform Building Code fee schedule adjusted for inflation.
$16.03
Plan Review Fee — highest bracket (valuation $1,000,001 and up)Dept. Rules Chapter 2, Section 3. The mid-range tier breakpoints between $501 and $1,000,000 are published in the same table, but the scanned source PDF renders two adjacent rows ($25,001-$50,000 and $50,001-$100,000) with identical fee text, an apparent scan/transcription artifact in the source document that could not be resolved as of 2026-07-22 — consult the source PDF directly (cited below) for exact mid-tier figures rather than treating either duplicated row as confirmed.
$3,824.33 for the first $1,000,000, plus $2.49 for each additional $1,000 or fraction thereof

Inspection process

  1. 1

    Final Fire and Life Safety Inspection

    Verifies the installation conforms to the approved plans. Approved plans are stamped 'REVIEWED AND APPROVED FOR FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY ONLY' or 'APPROVED AS NOTED,' which is not authorization to violate any other applicable code, per Dept. Rules Chapter 2, Section 2(i)-(k).

Tips

  • Plans are accepted or rejected for review within 5 business days of receipt; a complete review is then finished within 21 business days of acceptance, so total elapsed time from submission to a completed review runs roughly 21-26 business days. If the Department requests additional information, review resumes within 10 business days of receiving it, or the original 21-day window, whichever is longer, per the WSFM's published Plan Review process and W.S. 35-9-108(b)-(c).
  • Lander's own local IFC amendment (LMC 3.14.20, amending IFC Section 1103.5.3) sets January 1, 2027 as the compliance deadline by which certain existing buildings must have automatic sprinkler systems installed — a sprinkler system installed to meet that City retrofit deadline still goes through this same State Fire Marshal Plan Review / Permit to Construct process, since the City has no separate fire-sprinkler permit product of its own.
  • No work may begin before the Permit to Construct is issued, and fees are due before plans are logged as accepted; pay by credit card in the applicant's portal account or by check mailed to the Department's Cheyenne office (320 W. 25th St., 3rd Floor, Cheyenne, WY 82002).
