Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm Permit in Casper, Wyoming

Fire protection system work (sprinkler and alarm installations, additions, or alterations) is subject to plan review in Wyoming regardless of size or valuation. The Casper Fire Department (CFD) actively administers the City's own adopted 2024 International Fire Code (Casper Municipal Code Chapter 15.40) and runs local programs such as the Fire Self-Inspection Program (Ordinance No. 8-24), indicating local fire-code authority. However, this review could NOT independently confirm whether Casper holds the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's 'sole plan review authority' delegation (W.S. § 35-9-121(b)) specifically for fire-protection-system plans — as distinct from Casper's separately confirmed local ELECTRICAL delegation documented in this file's electrical-permit entry — or whether such plans instead route to the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office (WSFM) eLicensing/ePermit/ePayment portal. Applicants should confirm the correct reviewing authority directly with CFD before submitting.

When you need this permit

  • Fire sprinkler and fire alarm system installations, additions, or alterations require plan review regardless of size or valuation, per Wyoming's Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety framework (W.S. § 35-9-108)
  • Casper Municipal Code Chapter 15.40 (Fire Code) is actively administered by the Casper Fire Department (CFD), which also runs the City's Fire Self-Inspection Program (Ordinance No. 8-24, adopted May 7, 2024) for existing occupancies — confirming CFD is a locally active fire-code authority, separate from the Building Inspection Division
  • Wyoming statute W.S. § 35-9-121(b) allows the State Fire Marshal to grant a municipality 'sole plan review authority' for local fire-protection-system plan review instead of routing to the state; whether Casper's delegation specifically extends to fire-sprinkler/alarm plan review was NOT independently confirmed as of this review (Casper's local ELECTRICAL delegation under the same statute IS independently confirmed — see this file's electrical-permit entry)
  • This file's commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entry already documents a 'Life-Safety Plan' as a common commercial-permit document — fire sprinkler/alarm plans for new commercial construction are likely coordinated through that same commercial plan-review process, but this was not independently confirmed for standalone/retrofit sprinkler or alarm permits
  • Contact the Casper Fire Department directly at (307) 235-8222 (Fire-EMS administrative line, 200 North David) or the Building Inspection Division at (307) 235-8254 to confirm the current submittal path, required forms, and fees before applying

Fee schedule

Fire Sprinkler/Alarm Plan Review & Permit FeeNo dedicated fee line for fire sprinkler or fire alarm permits/plan review was found in the City of Casper Permit Fee Schedule (eff. February 2, 2026, reviewed in full — 4 pages, no fire-related line item) or the City's central Fee Schedules index page (business/fee_schedules.php, reviewed live 2026-07-22 — lists only 'Community Development Department Fees' and 'Wireless Communication Facilities Application Fees,' no Fire Department fee schedule). Do not confuse with the Fire Self-Inspection Program's $150 initial / $300 re-inspection service fees (Resolution No. 24-77), which apply only to periodic compliance inspections of existing low-hazard occupancies, not to new fire-protection-system installation permits.
Not published
Wyoming State Fire Marshal Plan Review Fee (if applicable)Would apply only if Casper's local delegation does not cover fire-protection-system plan review and the project instead routes through the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's ePermit portal; which of these two paths applies to Casper specifically was not independently confirmed
Calculated per the fee schedule in the WY Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety Rules, Chapter 2, Section 3 (exact dollar figures not published on the WSFM website as of this review)

Inspection process

  1. 1

    Rough-In

    Sprinkler piping or alarm wiring/devices inspected before concealment — standard practice under the adopted IFC/NFPA standards; Casper-specific inspection-sequence naming was not independently confirmed against a published CFD checklist

  2. 2

    Final / Acceptance Test

    Hydrostatic/flow test (sprinkler) or full functional test (alarm), typically witnessed by the fire code official before the system is placed in service — standard practice under the adopted IFC/NFPA standards; Casper-specific procedure was not independently confirmed

Tips

  • CFD, not the Building Inspection Division, is the most likely reviewing authority for new fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems, based on CFD's active local administration of Municipal Code Chapter 15.40 — but this file could not independently confirm CFD holds 'sole plan review authority' under W.S. § 35-9-121(b) specifically for fire-protection systems (as opposed to Casper's confirmed local electrical delegation). Confirm directly with CFD before assuming the project bypasses the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's portal.
  • Do not confuse this permit with CFD's Fire Self-Inspection Program (Casper Municipal Code § 15.40.105, Ordinance No. 8-24) — that program's $150 initial / $300 re-inspection fees (Resolution No. 24-77) apply to periodic compliance inspections of existing low-hazard occupancies, not to plan review or installation permits for new fire sprinkler/alarm systems.
  • The City's own Fee Schedules index page (business/fee_schedules.php) lists no Fire Department fee schedule as of this review — if one exists, it is not linked from the City's central fee-schedule page.
